ABOUT HARM REDUCTION
Harm reduction is exactly what it sounds like: reducing the harm associated with using drugs through a variety of different tools, strategies and ideas. The concept relies on more than these tools and begins at the most fundamental level — with recognizing that all people deserve safety and dignity.
​
Harm reduction acknowledges that drugs are widely available in our society. It encompasses the understanding that traditional law enforcement approaches or those that require complete abstinence do not decrease demand, use, or negative health consequences of substance use.
