SYNChronicity Organizers and The Harm Reduction Coalition Introduce A New Harm Reduction Track
SYNChronicity organizers (HealthHIV, HealthHCV, and the National Coalition for LGBT Health) collaborated with The Harm Reduction Coalition to create an intersectional track syncing harm reduction issues across HIV, HCV, STI, and LGBTQ health. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies aimed at reducing the negative consequences around drug use; it is person-centered, non-judgmental and addresses drug use in the context of a person’s life. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with experts in the field during the following presentations: Harm Reduction: Balancing Flexibility and Advocacy; Barriers to Care: Racism and Stigma; De-escalation: A Community Skill; and Queering Narratives on Harm Reduction.
