What is Harm Reduction?
The ADPC Harm Reduction Committee aligns with the National Harm Reduction Coalition and defines harm reduction as a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences of substance use. Also, that harm reduction is a movement for social justice built on a belief in and respect for the rights of people who use drugs.
The harm reduction policies, strategies, interventions and practices supported by the ADPC Harm Reduction Committee will center people with lived and living experience of substance use, especially those from marginalized communities. Lastly, the strategies, practices, and interventions supported will meet and engage people who are using substances where they are without judgement, stigma, racism, or discrimination.
