The J Healthcare Initiative

The J (healthcare) Initiative is a nonprofit initiative with a mission is to end the toxic drug crisis by affirming drug users’ healthcare choices. We are in support of person-centred care, accommodating different treatment goals. We envision a society where people who use drugs are treated with compassion, dignity, and respect, and have access to options of comprehensive, evidence-based healthcare services that prioritize their health and well-being. We are interested in building the capacity for user led, evidence-based harm reduction strategies. We value self-determination, scientific evidence, harm reduction, meaningful engagement with drug users and project based learning to set up the next generation of healthcare leaders.
