Harm reduction is reducing the harm associated with using drugs through a variety of public health interventions. Harm reduction services aim to equip the community with knowledge, tools, and services to combat substance use disorder (SUD) and prevent overdose deaths. The concept recognizes that all people deserve safety and dignity. We treat everyone with compassion and empathy and meet people where they are. We fight stigma with education and evidence-based methods.
