We invite researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers, and activists to submit abstracts that challenge thinking and elevate voices of people not always heard. In particular, APSAD 2025 invites First Nations community leaders, healthcare providers, researchers and policymakers to critically explore how colonial legacies have influenced the understanding of substance use, health disparities, and treatment systems. We encourage submissions that explore these critical issues and propose solutions grounded in justice, equity, and cultural respect.
