Harm Reduction Nurses Association is a national organization with a mission to advance harm reduction nursing through practice, education, research, advocacy.
UBCIC’s statement is a vital reminder that Indigenous leadership, human rights, and evidence-informed public health responses must be centred in decisions that affect people who use drugs.

We share their call for accountability, partnership, and policies grounded in care, not criminalization.

We must subject these policies to critical scrutiny:

Who benefits from involuntary drug treatment?

Not the patients. Not the nurses, doctors, or other allied healthcare professionals.

Do you feel safer knowing the gov is changing laws to protect care providers so they can violate patient rights?

When nurses and other caring professionals are required to violate their own code of ethics, they face a heightened risk of moral injury.

Harm Reduction Nurses Association & Doctors for Safer Drug Policy encourage colleagues to stand down from implementing BC NDP Mental Health Act changes
Proposals to expand so-called “involuntary treatment” for substance use disorders is not a health intervention, it is a political response to fear, misinformation, and moral panic.

We are calling on colleagues, health-care associations, unions, regulatory bodies, and public health leaders to endorse the statement, share it widely, and join us in demanding voluntary, evidence-based, rights-affirming responses to the toxic drug crisis.

We honour people with lived and living experience who have long resisted coercive drug policy, including those who launched last year’s petition opposing involuntary care. Their leadership continues to guide this work.

The solutions that will keep people alive amidst this unregulated toxic drug crisis will not come from existing systems that uphold prohibition + carceral punishment; we applaud the courage + innovation that Jeremy + Eris have demonstrated through their life-saving compassion club.
