AIDS Network Kootenay Outreach and Support Society (ANKORS) has released a video series that aims to build awareness about the stigma that people with lived experience using drugs face in their daily lives.

These videos are meant to challenge the viewer to look closely at the people on the front lines of the opioid crisis and listen to their stories – drug users, service providers and community leaders – and leave feeling more compassion towards community members and work towards more inclusive community based solutions.

Check out the videos below:
