From Grief To Action, based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, is a non-profit society working to improve the lives of drug users, their families and friends, since 1999. We promote the recognition of drug addiction as a health issue, and support a comprehensive continuum of care for drug users, including harm reduction, detoxification, treatment and rehabilitation, in order that they may achieve and maintain healthy, productive lives.

FGTA also works to raise public awareness. In addition to writing letters and articles, appearing on talk shows, organizing public forums, providing speaker for group or public events, and working with schools and professionals on drug use education and prevention, our Association produces education materials, including informational videos and the must-have Coping Kit.
