SUMMARY:Engaging Young People Who Use Drugs
DESCRIPTION:This training equips behavioral health providers and public health workers in the San Francisco Bay Area with practical\, youth-centered approaches to engaging adolescents in harm reduction practices. Grounded in core principles\, the training emphasizes meeting teens and young adults where they are at\, reducing stigma\, supporting autonomy\, and safer decision-making. \nParticipants will gain a foundational understanding of how to adapt lifesaving overdose prevention interventions to adolescent and young adult populations\, alongside key insights from cultural humility to teen development that directly impact engagement\, communication\, and risk-taking behavior. This training highlights how factors such as identity formation\, peer influence\, heightened sensitivity to judgment\, adultism\, and power imbalances shape our care and interventions with youth. \nThrough a combination of real-world examples\, interactive discussion\, and skill-building exercises\, participants will learn actionable strategies to build trust\, navigate conversations about substance use\, and implement practical harm reduction techniques. The training also incorporates the unique context of San Francisco and surrounding communities\, including local substance use trends\, cultural considerations\, and available resources. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will feel more confident engaging youth in honest\, nonjudgmental conversations and integrating a harm reduction framework into their everyday work with adolescents. \n  \nOrganized by the Harm Reduction Training Institute
