Harm Reduction in CSP
This summer, the BHTP at UW-Green Bay is offering CSP staff the opportunity to participate in training and consultation around harm reduction philosophy and approaches within your program. Community Support Programs (CSP) provide a unique team and community-based service to clients, often getting to know their clients on a very personal level and working with them for longer periods of time.
In 2023, over half (55.8%) of CSP consumers statewide were identified as using one or more of these substances: tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamines or heroin. It’s quite possible that helping individuals with goals related to their substance use becomes a part of the treatment conversation. Not all CSP teams employ a substance use professional, but despite missing that specialist position, CSP staff can continue to engage and employ strategies that are effective related to substance use planning and treatment.

Those who wish to engage in ongoing consultation will explore the following:

- Identification of a potential framework for how useful substance use conversations can occur within your CSP team.
- Examination of how current policies and procedures within your team and agency apply to individuals with SUDs. Does Harm Reduction or standardized SUD assessment have a place within these procedures?
