SUMMARY:Harm Reduction Intervention Training
DESCRIPTION:Everett\, WA\nThe umbrella term “harm reduction” comprises a set of evidence-based\, patient-centered approaches that may be tailored to suit the treatment preferences of the 90% of Americans who have substance use disorders but are not ready\, willing or able to stop using. Under that umbrella\, harm-reduction treatment (HaRT) comprises both individual and group treatment modalities and entails a compassionate\, advocacy-oriented provider stance that affords people the respect and autonomy needed to forge their own paths toward minimizing substance-related harm and improving quality of life. It does not require abstinence or use reduction\, and instead prioritizes clients’ own harm-reduction goals and safer-use strategies. It focuses on “accepting people where they’re at” and avoids pathologizing or placing moral value on substance use. \nFor more information or to register\, please CLICK HERE.
