As someone who applies harm reduction on a daily basis, I understand it as a way of life that is deeply rooted in the survival, care, and resistance practices of Indigenous, Black, and communities of color. Harm reduction can never be neutral — its ethics are grounded in Indigenous worldviews and solidified by communities responding to violence, criminalization, neglect, and exclusion from colonial institutions. For me, harm reduction means meeting people where they are, honoring their autonomy and lived experience, and working to reduce harm while also addressing the structural conditions that produce it. It is both a practical approach to care and a political commitment to dignity, self-determination, and collective liberation.

Harm reduction education should be provided to everyone, regardless of level of care or severity of illness. I see it as an offering people can utilize or not — most important is that they know what's available to take care of their bodies.

Harm reduction means we're meeting you where you are on your recovery journey and working together to define recovery in your words. It also means we don't expect perfection and find value in reducing the harm of a behavior or belief that may be hard to fully walk away from in this moment.

Harm reduction is client first — you are in charge of what your goals are and my aim is to respect and support that while engaging in curiosity around those goals.

Literally reducing harm, however that manifests for you, as well as sovereignty and self-determination for all high-risk communities. I believe that harm reduction allows us to think beyond the capitalist, binary perception that we are either "healed" or "sick." I believe it teaches us that nothing is linear and progress can appear in many different ways. Finally, I think harm reduction encourages self-compassion in a way that other healing models do not.

Harm reduction for me is a way of being. It's a way of seeing and feeling in relationship. It's honoring where we have been, where we are and where we want to go, simultaneously.

Harm reduction means that in my practice, I honor and strive to lead with decolonized practices around how to decrease the distressing part of harmful behaviors. I come from a religious background, where I know firsthand how an abstinence based model is harmful and so I want to support folks around their substance/alcohol/sexual behaviors in a way that honors their needs, journey, and aims to focus on community care.

For me it is about what we can add to someone's life and support system rather than what we can or should be taking away from them in order to promote and encourage healing. Destigmatizing and decolonizing the guilt and shame that comes with needing help and supporting folks by meeting them where they are at.

We honor each individual's journey by meeting them where they are with compassion and dignity, recognizing that all behaviors hold meaning, and working together to minimize harm and maximize well-being, autonomy, and informed choice. We view Harm Reduction as a movement which shifts resources and power to the people who are most vulnerable to structural violence, building community for and empowering directly impacted people, and disrupting systems of oppression.

To me, harm reduction means meeting people exactly where they are with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their autonomy. It means recognizing that change is rarely linear and that every step toward increased safety, nourishment, and self-trust matters. Rather than focusing on perfection or compliance, I strive to help clients identify realistic, sustainable changes that improve their quality of life while honoring their values, lived experiences, and readiness for change. As a dietitian working with eating disorders, harm reduction also means moving away from defining people by diagnoses or pathologizing them simply to fit a treatment model. A diagnosis may help guide care, but it should never become someone's identity. I believe healing happens when clients feel seen as whole people—not as their eating disorder, weight, or symptoms. My role is to collaborate with clients, reduce shame, foster body trust, and create a space where they can reconnect with themselves beyond their diagnosis.
