The Here to Help website contains a collection of fact sheets, self-help materials and other resources developed by the BC Partners for Mental Health and Substance Use Information. CISUR's contributions to the initiative (listed below) are designed to help people better understand, prevent and manage their substance use and related issues. Using evidence-based information, tips and links to local agencies, each of the resources developed by CISUR uses a health-promotion perspective to talk honestly and non-judgmentally about alcohol and other drugs commonly used in our society.
