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.
