As a community organizer with AQPSUD, a member of GID, and co-organizer of the <em>Exprimer l\u2019invisible<\/em> project, she works at the intersection of harm reduction, health promotion, and advocacy for the rights of people who use drugs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Her work is grounded in a human rights, social justice, collective empowerment, and experiential knowledge approach. Having personally experienced several losses related to the consequences of the war on drugs, including the overdose crisis, she has developed grief discussion workshops and guides aimed at creating and expanding safe spaces where people can express, share, and collectively process their experiences of loss and survival.<\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Role in <em>Exprimer l\u2019invisible<\/em>: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">\u25aa Co-organization: Isabelle and I had a conversation about the importance of art in harm reduction and the impact that art had had on each of us. We also had confidence in our ability to organize a day created by people with lived and living experience \/ people who use or have used drugs.<br>\n\u25aa Organizing <em>Exprimer l\u2019invisible<\/em> was not simple, as every detail, down to the smallest one, had to be carefully considered. It was during the organizing committee meetings that we made sure everything was coordinated and that we were moving forward at a good pace. We had a strong core group of people who helped organize the day, without whom none of this would have been possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Panel<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">I co-constructed the panel with Flo. It was very important to us to bring together a diversity of people and experiences in order to address different realities and show that there are many ways of integrating art into harm reduction. We also wanted the panelists to feel supported and accompanied throughout the process. For this reason, we organized two preparatory meetings during which we asked for their input on the format, themes, and questions. We also took the time to identify with them the topics they felt most comfortable discussing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Among the panelists were people with lived and living experience who were able to share the impact that art and these projects have had on their lives. We also invited people who have developed initiatives combining art and harm reduction to show that these projects are possible and can have a meaningful impact, both on participants and on those who organize them.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The Panel Discussion<\/span><\/p>\n<p>During the <em>Exprimer l\u2019invisible<\/em> event, I had the pleasure of moderating the panel discussion.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Art Workshops<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We held a series of two art workshops with people who use or have used drugs and\/or people with lived and experiential knowledge. We only had six spots available, so it was easy to find people who were motivated and interested in creating a collective artwork that embodied the idea of <em>Exprimer l\u2019invisible<\/em>. Jessica and I co-facilitated the art workshops, and they were a great success, as our different personalities complemented each other very well. We took the time to really reflect with the participants on the art we were creating and what it represented to each person involved. Jessica created the torso and head of a human figure out of wire, and the participants filled the structure with all kinds of art representing things that are not always visible, but that we nevertheless feel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">One of the most memorable moments of the workshops was when participants took turns sharing the meaning behind their artwork with us. It was incredibly rewarding to create a space that was open, non-judgmental, and centered on listening. It was really important to Jessica and me that the art workshops be a safe space for self-expression. When we look at the impact of these activities, it makes you wonder why there aren\u2019t more of them happening year-round!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">On-Site Art Workshops<\/span> :<\/p>\n<p>During the <em>Exprimer l\u2019invisible<\/em> event, Jessica and I, with the help of a few people on site, facilitated a collective art workshop. Throughout most of the day, participants were invited to express themselves through art on a large canvas. We were also responsible for setting it up during the closing speech so that everyone could return to the main room for the 5-to-7 gathering and see the large collaborative artwork we had created together.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Impact Analysis with the Research Team<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">I conducted the focus groups with the panelists and with the people who participated in the art workshops at AQPSUD, alongside L\u00e9onie Archambeault and Antoine Bertrand.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<button class=\"wpr-unfold-btn\">\n\t\t\t\tread more\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f15a7e e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6f15a7e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ceb4cf e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1ceb4cf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb820bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eb820bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exprimerlinvisible.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Jeannine-RQ-RDM-rs4z2amdsn3i59dpxc48swp5ltiso3rarls6fciu4w.jpg\" title=\"Jeannine RQ-RDM\" alt=\"Jeannine RQ-RDM\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ba91d5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4ba91d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Jeannine Foisy<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70537f0 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"70537f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b285442 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpr-unfold\" data-id=\"b285442\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpr-unfold.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-wrapper\" data-config=\"{&quot;expand_text&quot;:&quot;lire plus&quot;,&quot;collapse_text&quot;:&quot;lire moins&quot;,&quot;collapse_height&quot;:190,&quot;transition_duration&quot;:300}\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-data\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-data-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-content\"><p>After struggling with substance use for several decades, I was able to regain control over my life.

Her passage from darkness\u2014marked by shame, guilt, and silence\u2014to light, reclaiming her voice, and transforming her personal story resonates deeply with her commitment: to create spaces where stories that are too often rendered invisible can be heard, recognized, and carried collectively.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<button class=\"wpr-unfold-btn\">\n\t\t\t\tread more\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb3535c e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fb3535c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23f20f7 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"23f20f7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff2733d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ff2733d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/exprimerlinvisible.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Haig_Thomas_photo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1020\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exprimerlinvisible.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Haig_Thomas_photo.jpg 529w, https:\/\/exprimerlinvisible.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Haig_Thomas_photo-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01ed13e elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"01ed13e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Thomas Haig<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14ba925 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"14ba925\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a804c48 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpr-unfold\" data-id=\"a804c48\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpr-unfold.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-wrapper\" data-config=\"{&quot;expand_text&quot;:&quot;lire plus&quot;,&quot;collapse_text&quot;:&quot;lire moins&quot;,&quot;collapse_height&quot;:190,&quot;transition_duration&quot;:300}\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-data\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-data-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-unfold-content\"><p class=\"translation-block\">Thomas Haig is a research professional in the Department of Community Health at the Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke\u2019s Longueuil campus, where he coordinates research projects aimed at developing inclusive, accessible, and tailored substance use interventions and services for diverse populations, including women and members of 2SLGBTQI+ communities.
