7. What Kept Me Grounded
Do not be daunted by the
enormity of the world's grief.
Do justly, now.
Love mercy, now.
Walk humbly, now.
You are not obligated to
complete the work, but
neither are you free to
abandon it.
The Talmud
18. The Way Forward
The way forward
Institutional change requires
human beings to admit to the
colonial constructs inherited
by their predecessors,
maintained by them and
commit to engage in messy
and ambiguous environments
that complex change requires.
One person at a time.
Editor's Notes
My work with the TIHAC led to work with TPH. The Indigenous Overdose Strategy (IODS) was developed as a companion document to Toronto’s Overdose Action Plan: Prevention and Response document. In this document the following recommended action was brought to life in the spring of 2018 and completed in the fall of 2018. The voices of those that came, gave and hoped echo in this document.
The action:
Work with an Indigenous facilitator to develop and undertake a dedicated process to engage Indigenous communities in identifying overdose prevention and response strategies specific to Indigenous communities, in accordance with the operating principles of the Toronto Indigenous Health Strategy (TIHS) created by the Toronto Indigenous Health Advisory Circle.
