The Harm Reduction ApproachThe Harm Reduction Approach
This approach is about giving people options to reduce harm that drug use causes. With this philosophy, we believe that any positive change that you are willing to make is important. It is also about accepting people wherever they are with their drug use and giving them options to reduce harm to themselves and others
