What harm reduction means in practice

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.

Communities, movements & lineages that shaped this work

Addiction recovery models have impacted my perspective about harm reduction. Also anti-racist teachings from Black feminists and walking away from perfection as a standard or desire.
