Harm Reduction Trainings
National Harm Reduction Coalition facilitates trainings around the country. We open our virtual doors to individuals and teams seeking training on important evidence-based harm reduction strategies.
Join a Training
Our public training sessions are open to all who wish to attend. Whether you’re part of a community-based or harm reduction organization, or you’re an individual who loves people who use drugs and want to learn how to support them, we invite you to join us.
During COVID-19, we are supplementing our in-person trainings with virtual workshops and webinars.
