What is Harm Reduction
Harm Reduction seeks to use practical strategies to reduce harm. Harm Reduction is used in lots of different ways in our society, from buckling our seatbelts, to using condoms during sex, to providing overdose prevention, harm reduction seeks to have better health outcomes for everyone.
From the National Harm Reduction Coalition, Harm Reduction is explained as, “Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs.”
At The Empowerment Program, we focus on meeting people where they’re at, and encouraging realistic options for reducing harm in sexual activity and drug usage. We employ a large variety of harm reduction techniques and are excited to help our neighbors in the Denver Metro empower themselves with what works for them!
