Harm reduction practices are becoming more popular in the United States, with many federal and state budgets allotting funding for the expansion of programs that apply these principles. While applying harm reduction principles is not a new practice, it has not been widely accepted or used in the United States in justice-involved settings. This webinar aims to educate law enforcement professionals about what harm reduction is, how to apply the concepts in policing and corrections, and the benefits for the individual, agency, and wider community when utilized. Join us with your teams or anyone who you believe may benefit from this basic primer on harm reduction in community settings.
