Deconstructing Toxic Narratives

Deconstructing Toxic Narratives
Chronic Pain Association of Canada

Deconstructing Toxic Narratives reframes the opioid epidemic as a structural and systemic failure rather than just a story of reckless prescribing. It analyzes how socioeconomic, political, and cultural forces—such as economic decline, trauma, and unequal access to care—drive addiction, offering community-centered solutions to address these root causes.
