Creating Spaces for
Dialogue & Action
Credit: Nigel Brunsdon
Creating spaces for community-building, dialogue, leadership development, and action is a vital part of our mission.
National Harm Reduction Coalition brings people together from around the block and around the globe to explore new strategies, discuss roadblocks to implementations and develop solutions to bring harm reduction to scale.
National Harm Reduction Conference
“The National Harm Reduction Conference is a sacred space. Each conference is a homecoming, a moment to gather, build strength, and to challenge ourselves. It’s not always easy, and we don’t always agree. The conference is where we meet to have difficult conversations, strategize solutions, and to hold each other close.”
Maria Chavez (she/they), National Conference Director
A diverse community of people who use drugs or engage in sex work, service providers, public health officials and healthcare workers, policymakers and advocates — all come together to expand perspectives, gain new skills, and change the narrative about people who use drugs.
