(Seminar) Harm Reduction: Dr Riya Gupta

Harm reduction is all about practical strategies and ideas aimed at lessening the negative impacts of drug use. It operates on the understanding that drug use is a complex issue, and some methods of using drugs can be safer than others. The National Harm Reduction Coalition highlights several key principles, such as: Acceptance of Drug Use: Acknowledging that drug use is a reality in society and focusing on reducing its harmful effects instead of passing judgment. Quality of Life: Emphasizing the importance of the well-being of individuals and communities over the complete elimination of drug use. Non-Judgmental Services: Offering resources and support in a way that is non-coercive and free from judgment.
