Harm reduction aims to reduce the negative health, social, and economic consequences associated with substance use without necessarily leading to cessation of use of a substance. In this webinar, experts will provide lessons from the field and share their experiences reflecting on successes, challenges, and opportunities of a harm reduction approach to substance use.
