The National Harm Reduction Technical Assistance Center (NHRTAC), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), will be hosting a virtual learning community, February 27th.

Discussion:

One of the core principles of harm reduction is to ensure 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. This session will explore the reasons for this and practical ways to bring that principle to life by exploring how to develop and maintain workforce opportunities for people who use drugs.
