Advancing Ethical Harm Reduction Approaches

Exploring how institutionalization, prohibition, and power shape what harm reduction becomes and what it was always meant to be.

This training invites teams to deepen their understanding of substance use and care by exploring the broader conditions that shape health, behaviour, and survival.

Grounded in frontline and lived experience, this session draws on harm reduction principles to examine how systems, policies, and organizational practices influence responses to people who use drugs and other marginalized communities.

Participants will explore:

  • How stigma and bias can shape care practices

  • The impact of policy and institutional structures on service delivery

  • Common tensions between organizational expectations and ethical, person-centered care

This session supports teams to reflect critically on their current approaches and consider shifts toward more relational, dignity-based practices.

Through discussion, reflection, and real-world examples, participants will:

  • Strengthen their ability to provide respectful, person-centered care

  • Explore ways to support autonomy and build trust

  • Identify practical strategies to navigate complex situations while maintaining ethical integrity

  • Reduce burnout by aligning practice with values

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

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