Swan River Intro to Harm Reduction FREE! 2
Details
- Rather than focus on individual behaviour, our approach to harm reduction focuses on how systems create and exacerbate harms to people who use drugs and other oppressed groups, often by design and with intent.

Objectives:
- Increase our knowledge of Harm Reduction: definition, examples, principles
- Challenge the concept of ‘non-judgmental care’ & how values and beliefs contextualize our work
