Moms Stop the Harm

Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH) is a Canadian network of families impacted by substance use, aiming to combat structural stigma, drug harms, and overdose deaths. Founded in 2016, MSTH envisions a society where individuals who use drugs are not criminalized, and their rights are upheld. The organization advocates for evidence-based prevention, treatment, and policy change to end the failed war on drugs. Embracing a compassionate and non-discriminatory harm reduction approach, MSTH empowers families to raise their voices without shame, advocate for change, and provide peer-led support to other grieving families. Their recent investment of $168.06K by Health Canada on 06 July 2023 exemplifies the backing of their efforts towards reforming drug policies and improving support systems for affected families.
