Resisting Saviourism in Harm Reduction Education (Community Grassroots rate)

$700.00

*Pricing is structured to increase access for grassroots and peer-led spaces while sustaining this work within larger funded institutions*

This training invites teams to move beyond surface-level approaches to trauma and substance use by examining the structural forces that shape health, behaviour, and survival.

Grounded in frontline and lived experience, we will draw upon frameworks rooted in grassroots harm reduction, with narratives of resistance that confront individualism. This session explores how prohibition, stigma, carceral logic, and respectability politics influence the way institutions respond to people who use drugs and other marginalized communities.

Participants are invited to unlearn common assumptions, examine implicit bias, and shift from charity-based frameworks toward solidarity and shared power.

Through discussion, reflection, and real-world examples, teams will explore practical ways to support dignity, autonomy, and community-centered care while reducing burnout and challenging harmful institutional norms.

Ideal for: healthcare teams, outreach workers, non-profits, educators, and organizational leaders.

Sessions can be delivered as 90-minute trainings, half-day workshops, or full-day sessions, and can be tailored to your organization.
