Faith in Harm Reduction
Faith-Based Leadership in Harm Reduction
In collaboration with Judson Memorial Church
In collaboration with Judson Memorial Church, National Harm Reduction Coalition launched Faith in Harm Reduction to build bridges between harm reduction and faith communities in order to develop leadership, strengthen harm reduction advocacy efforts, and build environments supportive of harm reduction policies and practices.
Years later, Faith in Harm Reduction has since officially been established as a 501(c)3, and now operates independently of NHRC, though the partnership will remain and continue to grow in different capacities moving forward. With this new direction, we are looking forward to opportunities to work in collaboration and strengthen harm reduction in policy, practice, and spirit!
