The objectives of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Prairie Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Misuse (CRISM) Node are to:

(1) create effective and trusting collaborative working relationships among our affiliates, and

(2) develop accessible resources for substance misuse interventions that are of value to researchers, service providers, and consumer advocates across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. These webinars are made possible with funding provided by the Prairie CRISM node to Dr. Darlene Chalmers (University of Regina) in partnership with Dr. Colleen Anne Dell (University of Saskatchewan).
