Training Overview:
Meaningful involvement of people who use drugs can increase support for harm reduction policy and advocacy efforts; challenge myths related to drug use, HIV, and viral hepatitis; and reframe the narrative supporting criminalization. Opportunities for job training and employment are in themselves an important component of harm reduction in communities of people who use drugs. More importantly, meaningful involvement of people who use drugs ensures the leadership and decision-making power of people with lived experience of drug use in the response to the intersecting crises of drug use, viral hepatitis, and HIV.
Organized by: The Harm Reduction Training Institute and the National Harm Reduction Coalition.
