It is widely recognized that substance abuse and addictions have a negative impact on the health, and social and economic well-being of women and girls. It is also known that effective partnerships between research and policy groups and non-governmental organizations can contribute to leading-edge research, policies and programs that reduce the harm associated with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and promote women's health and well-being.
CCSA and BCCEWH have pledged to work together in a spirit of cooperation, learning and support to implement practical means of bringing the policy and research fields closer together; sharing data, information, networks and resources; creating and promoting participatory forums for those interested in substance use among women and girls in Canada; supporting and facilitating the exchange of professional staff between CCSA and BCCEWH and their affiliates; and sharing information on issues of mutual interest regarding gender, women, girls and substance use.

It is widely recognized that substance abuse and addictions have a negative impact on the social, health and economic well-being of Canadians, and in particular First Nations families, and that effective partnerships between non-governmental organizations can promote the development of leading-edge research, policies and programs that reduce the harm associated with alcohol and other drugs.
