SAMHSA recently introduced the 4 E’s as a “Modern and Comprehensive Prevention System” to support the work of prevention providers in States and communities. The 4 E’s: Early Action, Easy Access, Equitable Opportunities and Effective Delivery, provide a vital system for ensuring that prevention efforts are planned and implemented in an equitable and effective manner. In this 2-part “Learning Lab” series, we will describe and explore a) how the 4 E’s can be applied in prevention work and b) how the 4 E’s can be implemented throughout the Strategic Prevention Framework.

Session 3: A Primer on Harm Reduction and Our Role in Prevention

Wednesday, April 12, 2023

10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET

Presented by Carlton Hall and Dorothy Chaney

As the overdose crisis continues to change, we must take a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to saving lives, reducing risk, and removing barriers to effective interventions. This requires that we provide care and services that respect the health and dignity of people who use drugs. While understanding primary prevention is an essential first step toward addressing overdoses, harm reduction is vitally important to keeping people who use drugs alive and as healthy as possible. This session will look at harm reduction as an approach that emphasizes engaging with people who use to prevent overdose and improve the physical, mental and societal well-being.

 

Participants will be able to:

  • Define Harm Reduction.

  • Explore how prevention science practice and harm reduction intersect. 

  • Identify tools and best practices.
