PDS Panel (2017-2018)

PDS Panel (2017-2018)

The PDS Panel was an opportunity for people with lived experience related to substance use to use their experiences to help inform local programs, policies and initiatives. It was also an opportunity for organizations to get feedback on their activities and adapt them to better meet the needs of people with lived experience of substance use.

Over the course of a one-year pilot project (2017-18), we established the panel, which offered consulting services to PDS member organizations. We are currently exploring additional funding opportunities to support a second phase of this project, with a goal of expanding access to the panel’s services beyond PDS partners to any interested organization in the community.

This project was generously funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and agency of the Government of Ontario.
