Harm Reduction Training (Zoom)
October 18 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am
FreeHarm reduction is a practical and transformative approach that incorporates community-driven public health strategies — including prevention, risk reduction, and health promotion — to empower people who use drugs (and their families) with the choice to live healthy, self-directed, and purpose-filled lives. Harm reduction centers the lived and living experience of people who use drugs, especially those in underserved communities, in these strategies and the practices that flow from them.
Learning Objectives:
- What is Harm Reduction? A brief overview of Harm Reduction
- Learn who is appropriate for Harm Reduction and how to reduce stigma through its use
- Incorporating Harm Reduction into our current practice
