Engaging with bereaved parents in substance use research and policy reform

In 2017, our research team consisting of university academics and representatives of Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH), mumsDU and The Voice of the Family undertook a research project entitled, 'Mother's stories of advocacy following their child's substance passing". Qualitative interviews were conducted with 43 mothers across Canada who had experienced the death of their child, and who subsequently engaged in advocacy around family support and drug policy reform. In this webinar, we will reflect on the role of research team members, the benefits and challenges of partnership and key insights on the meaningful inclusion of family members as key stakeholders in substance use research and drug policy reform.
