The How-To’s of Harm Reduction

Written By Guest User

Harm reduction includes a range of policies, programs, and practices that meet marginalized communities like runaway and homeless youth where they're at. Harm reduction practices are designed to acknowledge and reduce  the risks young people face every day by developing youth-centered strategies to enhance safety in ways that work for them.
