Course Description

Harm reduction incorporates a spectrum of evidence-based and evidence-informed strategies from safer use, to managed use, to abstinence to meet individuals engaged in high-risk behavior “where they're at” and addressing symptoms along with diagnoses themselves. You'll engage in five components during this 4-hour, virtual training including introduction to harm reduction, implementing harm reduction strategies, and navigating conversations on access to lethal means.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the purpose of harm reduction and demonstrate knowledge of harm reduction techniques.
• Demonstrate knowledge on the principles of harm reduction in healthcare settings and identify harm reduction opportunities.
• Explain what lethal means counseling is in the context of suicide prevention, and identify sample language to use during conversations on access to lethal means.
