Webinar abstract/description
How do harm reduction techniques apply when it’s our family and friends who are impacted by crystal meth? This webinar will strip back our attitudes about harm reduction to discuss how we care for our loved ones who are using crystal meth. Panelists will discuss cultural implications, where we sometimes get it wrong, and tips for how to get it right.
