CSH Webinar Series | Harm Reduction is Healthcare: The moment has never been more critical to address the ongoing opioid epidemic and rising rates of substance abuse. Since the beginning of the pandemic, drug-involved overdose deaths have spiked and remain at record-breaking levels. Researchers point to factors including social isolation, treatment interruption, and the need for expanded mental health resources.
In response, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration has announced an unprecedented $30 million Harm Reduction grant funding initiative to assist providers and develop new resources. For providers working to address the substance use epidemic, harm reduction remains a key principle in providing quality services.
In this 2 part webinar series, we’ll share new resources for delivering Harm Reduction services. These resources will help equip you to harness harm reduction principles to deliver services with better outcomes. We’ll also explore the intersection of harm reduction, chronic disease management, and social determinants of health.
This webinar series will be key to helping health centers understand these new resources and how harm reduction can advance health outcomes for patients with substance use issues.
