The 2021 conference will be a virtual convening over three days, with the theme of “The Future is Harm Reduction.” The sessions will explore how current societal issues can be aided by a harm reduction approach to mitigate the complexities individuals and communities contend with as they advocate for social change.

Harm Reduction is a philosophy and set of strategies for working with those engaged in potentially harmful behaviors. The main objective is to reduce the potential dangers and health risks associated with such behaviors, even for those who are not willing or able to completely stop. Harm reduction uses non-judgmental, holistic and individualized approaches to support incremental change which increases the health and well-being of individual communities.
