**** please circulate to your networks ****

Please join us for a public forum to discuss the concerns and needs of
marginalized crack cocaine users in Toronto.

DATE: Friday, December 12th, 2008
TIME: 9:00 am to 11:00 am
PLACE: Toronto City Hall, Committee Room #2

The findings of a community-based survey of homeless adults in Toronto
about crack use, health and access to health care will be released at
this forum. The study, conducted by Street Health, revealed that
nearly half of homeless adults in Toronto report regular crack use.
The study presents a detailed picture of the difficult lives of
homeless people who use crack cocaine including findings on health
problems, social isolation and poor access to health care and shelter.

A panel of health care providers, researchers, community activists and
crack users will discuss the study recommendations for improving
services and supports for this stigmatized and marginalized group.

Please R.S.V.P. to Holly Kramer at [log in to unmask]

This forum is being hosted by the Safer Crack Use Coalition of Toronto,
Street Health and the Toronto Harm Reduction Taskforce.

The Homelessness & Crack Use Research Bulletin #3 will be available at
the event and at www.streethealth.ca after December 12th.
