Like it has on many aspects of our society, COVID has impacted people who use opioids quite seriously. Recognizing these impacts on everyone is important as, collectively, we attempt to increase the wellness of all members of our community. {Alt text: Opioids and COVID: During April and May 2020, Toronto experiences its highest number of fatal suspected opioid poisoning calls each month to Toronto Paramedic Services since September 2017.

Opioid use disorder can affect anyone, many people become affected because of over prescribed opioids by physicians. Stigma Surrounding Opioids: Stigma is like negative attitudes, judgements and stereotypes towards those who use opioids. It can create barriers to people seeking help which leads to a system of mistrurst and avoidance of services for marginalized populations. Language Matters! Instead of addicted or abuser, use substance use disorder. Instead of overdose, say opioid poisoning. Increased Opioid Usage During the Pandemic: Isolation and quarantine have caused an increase in opioid abuse due to negative effects on mental health such as: loneliness, anxiety, depression, fear, and income or work-related stress.

#BlackOutTuesday This week the Cultural Diversity team at Student Experience (@uofgstudentexp) have organized a series of drop-in community spaces for students. Links to join the different sessions are in their IG bio or on the images within this post.

We share the the following sentiments as those from our colleagues in Student Experience, as written below. To the UofG community, with great sadness, grief and outrage, we offer our love, solidarity and support to the Black community and to all of the Black students, staff and faculty at the UofG. Black students at the UofG: We see you and are here to support you. You deserve respect, safety, and dignity. The Cultural Diversity Office is available to offer support and resou...rces to students struggling in response to the horrific and violent deaths of George Floyd, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Breonna Taylor and the violence against Christian Cooper within a long history of anti-Black racist murders and oppression. To all the non-Black students, staff and faculty at the UofG: Lets examine our roles in upholding systems that are creating so much harm and death. Lets work to challenge racism and take action. Check in with your Black loved ones who are hurt and grieving; acknowledge their pain and commit to something you will do to take action. We are all responsible for creating change. We know that these injustices are traumatic and scary, and you dont need to be alone in the gravity of what you might be feeling. If you have questions or are looking for one-on-one support, please reach out to Tameera Mohamed, the Cultural Diversity Advisor, at [email protected].

Who else is missing this beautiful space on campus? Its hard to believe, but a year ago now we were moving the Wellness Education and Promotion Centre, Counselling Services, and Student Accessibility Services into our newly renovated spaces within the J.T.

Have you visited the J.T. Powell Building before? We look forward to (someday) being able to welcome all of our new and returning students to our physical space, but until then, we hope youll take advantage of the many virtual services we continue to offer.
