Welcome to ACE!
Collaborative and creative research to advance evidence-based practices and treatment to practitioners and policymakers in the criminal justice and health fields.
We work with our partners in crafting new policies focused on proactively preventing criminal behavior rather than simply responding to it. Click here to check out a summary of ACE! in the last year.
Mitigating the Harmful Effects of Fentanyl in Indigenous Communities
ACE! is pleased to offer the eLearning course Mitigating the Harmful Effects of Fentanyl in Indigenous Communities, developed by Dr. Ariel Roddy (Sault Ste. Marie Ojibwe). This course will help learners understand the dangers of fentanyl and the impact on Indigenous communities. Participants will learn what factors contribute to the proliferation of fentanyl overdoses in communities and will receive detailed instructions on how they can respond to an overdose. The course also explores trauma-informed care and how to infuse treatment strategies with cultural competency and compassionate care.
