B.C. enhances access to addictions support for women and girls

Women and girls in British Columbia living with addiction challenges will benefit from continued treatment and recovery services, thanks to provincial funding.

Westminster House Society provides services and supports for women and girls affected by addiction, including women and girls struggling with nicotine, alcohol, prescription medication and substance use, and behaviour disorders, such as problematic eating and gambling.

“When women make the brave decision to reach out for help, it’s vital the right services are in place to meet them,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “That’s why our government is investing in organizations like Westminster House Society. This funding ensures women and girls will continue to access the services they need and deserve on their journey to wellness, as our government continues to build an integrated system of mental-health and addictions care that works for all British Columbians.”

Westminster House Society is a bedbased treatment and recovery centre in New Westminster that has provided support to women and girls with addictions for 42 years. More than 4,000 women and youth have reached out to the society for help since the declaration of the toxic drug public health emergency in 2016.

“Since the Pathway to Hope launched in 2019, Westminster House has initiated recovery to over 650 women and youth girls,” said Susan Hogarth, executive director, Westminster House Society. “The Province’s investment into the programs at Westminster House will include health and wellness, as well as the addition of support staff to help our clients build recovery capital for improved quality of life.”

The Province has provided $272,000 to the society to support these services. Enhancing supports for people living with mental-health and addiction challenges is an integral part of A Pathway to Hope, B.C.’s roadmap for building a comprehensive system of mentalhealth and addiction care for British Columbians.

“There is an urgent need to support people, including women and girls struggling with mental-health, addictions and substance use across the province,” said Kelli Paddon, Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity. “Funding for Westminster House Society will ensure women, youth and girls can get the supports they need in a caring and supportive environment.” mF blivMdr bfls gurdfspur.

(NC) As humans, we tend to be aware of threats in our environment and pay attention to dangerous things, or at least the ones we can see. But what about the things you encounter every day that you can’t see that are just as dangerous? Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites can develop a resistance to the drugs we use to treat them. The risk of this antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is that infections that were once easily treatable with antimicrobials, such as antibiotics (e.g., pneumonia, strep throat or infections associated with minor injuries like scrapes and cuts) become harder to treat and may in some cases be untreatable in humans and animals.

What can you do? Slowing the development of AMR comes down to everyone doing their part by seeking medical attention when ill and using antibiotics and other antimicrobials as prescribed. Microbes (like bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi) can be transmitted a variety of ways. Take a second look at more ways to prevent transmission in animals too: kfimaF dI loV hfrvuwz lMbr ilmitz (myplirwj) vfilLaF nuM imwl ivwc kMm krn leI kfimaF dI loV hY| kMm bhuq hlkf hY aqy aOrqF vI kr skdIaF hn| pwkf kMm, sfrf sfl cwlygf, cMgI qnKfh idwqI jfvygI| aYbtsPorz qoN rfeIz df pRbMD hY| hor jfxkfrI leI Pon kro: 604-615-5801

Vaccines: Vaccines help provide immunity against a disease and reduce the chance that you or an animal will become sick. So, ensure your pets or livestock are vaccinated, and be sure to ask your vet about updating your farm’s disease management protocols.

Wild animals: Ensure there is no contact between your animals and wild animals.

Jupiter moves on from your sign for another 12 years and begins to focus on your finances to late May 2024. This will be increase in some way and can be good for earning more but you might need to watch spending more as well. You can now move ahead with any financial decisions to mid June that you may have been considering since early April.

Jupiter, the planet of growth, expansion and benefit moves into your sign, where it will remain until 26th May 2024, stimulating a new 12 year personal cycle in this time. Some sort of instant clarity could occur this week, when it comes to something personal, enabling you to move ahead, to mid June with decisions you may have been considering since early April.

It would pay you to look into things that would be best dropped because it may become obvious that in the long term matters could take a very different direction than what you had presumed so far. Life was very busy from August to March. You will benefit from having some quiet time to yourself to May 2024 so that you can contemplate matters thoroughly.

Goals you have had in mind, particularly since Christmas, can now begin to take shape in a big way over the next 12 months. This can require a lot more commitment from you, one way or another. Any increased involvement right now with other people will take shape more so from January 2024. This could also mean an important relationship for some.

You can benefit greatly, not so much through what you know but who you know, over the next 12 months, so don’t hesitate in approaching somebody who may be in a position to help you out. Involvement with a group of people can have its benefits. It will be possible to move ahead, from now to mid June, with any ideas you have floated since early April.

You can suddenly feel freed up from overwhelming expectations you have had to deal with since Christmas. There will be a sense of freedom, over the next 12 months, when it comes to planning future directions. Finish any situation that demands too much of you for perhaps the benefit of others, by mid June. You will now begin to see how this could be accomplished.

Pay close attention to the manner in which the expectations of others upon you will be increased bit by bit over the next 12 months. You need to guard against being too generous of yourself when it comes to requests. From now to mid June, pay attention to the obligations you already have on a regular basis and although it might have been challenging since early April, be determined to correct things.

There could be a large increase, over the next 12 months, when it comes to matters you need to handle on a regular basis. Be careful with promising things from now to early June. Make sure you can handle the details that will go with it. Now is a good time to put a practical foundation in place that can limit the manner in which things you have to handle don’t become overwhelming.

Putting down foundations for greater benefit in life will be possible in the next 12 months. There will be something totally different to anything you have done in life before. This will develop more from January. This can include home and family. You need to be mindful of dealing with finances sensibly from now to mid June. Something that has been held up could start to go ahead.

Life will become rather busy with other people over the next 12 months. If you have been working on something since Christmas that requires some sort of response from others, it could happen now. The action you need to take to project something into the long term can suddenly become clear. Part of this might be connected to somebody else beginning to understand you better.

There can be much to enjoy over the next 12 months and it doesn’t need to cost a lot of money. There could be new children or young people can play a greater role in some way. This would also be a good period for travel, which could include catching up with people a distance away that you have not seen in a while. If there is an interest you have wanted to pursue, this would be the time.

Personal commitments that have began to develop in your life since March can now begin to distract you in some way. This might be connected to wanting to escape but that is not possible. It might be easier to come to terms with this in your own mind from now to mid June but only if you are prepared to take a practical approach. The right information might be easier to come by in the next year.
