Top 10 Harm Reduction Names You Should Know [psychologytoday.com]

 

You wouldn’t let your son or daughter trap themselves in the basement because they’re afraid of the deadly sun, would you? No. You’d probably just tell them to put on some sunscreen and wear a hat. Well, good for you. I’d like to welcome you to the world of harm reduction.

Harm reduction typically refers to any non-judgmental, compassionate and shame-free policy, program, or practice that seeks to reduce the harms associated with drug use, compulsive behaviors, potentially dangerous activities and mental health struggles. It centers on meeting people where they ARE, not where you’d like them to be.

Sound familiar? (If not, you should really spend more time reading my other posts.)
