Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH) is a network of Canadian families impacted by substance-use-related harms and deaths.
We advocate for the change of failed drug policies, provide peer support to families who have lost a loved one or use or have used substances.
Join us on Oct 19 @ 3pm CT for a virtual event featuring MSTH member Irene Reilly, author of "OHANA, Love, Grief and Hope in the Time of the Opioid Crisis".

A journey of transformation from personal loss to powerful advocacy.
