Topics covered include:
- How the pandemic is affecting those suffering from addictions
- How difficult, and important the first call for help is
- The opioid crisis in Alberta
- Thoughts on safe-injection sites
- How the province is making it more affordable for those looking to recover seek the treatment they need; and,
- Since his ministry is mental health and addictions, we asked Luan how he is doing personally.
