What is harm reduction
Harm Reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs, those that experience homelessness, and sex workers.
Harm Reduction is at our core, from our 100+ years of experience to our support strategies.
Do you know all eight principles?
Accepts, for better or worse, that licit and illicit drug use is part of our world and chooses to work to minimize its harmful effects rather than ignore or condemn them.
Understands drug use as a complex, multi-faceted phenomenon that encompasses a continuum of behaviors from severe use to total abstinence and acknowledges that some ways of using drugs are safer than others.
Establishes quality of individual and community life and well-being — not necessarily cessation of all drug use — as the criteria for successful interventions and policies.
Calls for the non-judgmental, non-coercive provision of services and resources to people who use drugs and the communities in which they live to assist them in reducing attendant harm.
Ensures that people who use drugs and those with a history of drug use routinely have a real voice in the creation of programs and policies designed to serve them.
Affirms people who use drugs (PWUD) themselves as the primary agents of reducing the harms of their drug use and seeks to empower PWUD to share information and support each other in strategies that meet their actual conditions of use.
Recognizes that the realities of poverty, class, racism, social isolation, past trauma, sex-based discrimination, and other social inequalities affect both people’s vulnerability to and capacity for effectively dealing with drug-related harm.
It does not attempt to minimize or ignore the real and tragic harm and danger that can be associated with illicit drug use.

The most common example of Harm Reduction is wearing your seatbelt. Other examples can include carrying Naloxone in your first aid kit, wearing oven mitts to remove a pan from a hot oven or stove, getting tested for HIV or STIs, or even testing your drugs for fentanyl. What other examples can you think of?
