*Registration for this training will close on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 at 4:00pm*


The philosophy and implementation of harm reduction strategies is an emerging approach that is effective in engaging people who use drugs.  Harm reduction is not a new concept.  These approaches have been used for some time as effective strategies for other areas or health and wellness such as the management of chronic health conditions like diabetes and depression.  This webinar will begin to explore how we can utilize harm reduction strategies to support people who use drugs and more effectively address and treat addiction.  We will discuss the wide spectrum of harm reduction strategies that support the mantra of meeting people “where they are” with compassion and humility.  We will discuss and provide specific skills and approaches to implementing harm reduction strategies into existing practices. 
Objective:

At the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the philosophy of harm reduction.
  2. Demonstrate how harm reduction supports health equity and health engagement and enhance patient and client retention.
  3. Develop specific harm reduction approaches that can be integrated into their existing practice to help support people with substance use disorders.
  4. Demonstrate how harm reduction approaches and philosophies are a support to people in recovery, enhance engagement in treatment and can elevate the effectiveness of existing evidenced based practices.
