The New England PTTC virtual Learning Labs will expand on the information delivered in the PTTC Network Coordinating Office webinar series “The Intersection of Harm Reduction, Prevention, and Recovery.”
Participation in the New England PTTC Learning Labs is an opportunity for connection and collaboration between harm reduction, recovery, and prevention professionals, guided by facilitators, to provide a shared collection of resources: experiences, stories, tools, and ways of addressing community-level issues. The Learning Labs will be interactive and skill-oriented so participants will be able to apply their learning to their work.
Learning Lab participants must first participate in “The Intersection of Harm Reduction, Prevention, and Recovery” webinar series on 11/9 and 11/16 (hosted by the PTTC Network Coordinating Office). See full details on these events in the participant information section below.
