Substance Use Harm Reduction Workshop

Join us at Healthy Minds Cooperative for an engaging, informative, and compassionate workshop focused on substance use harm reduction.

This, in-person, workshop is designed for community members who want to better understand substance use, reduce stigma, and learn practical strategies that promote safety and well-being.

Whether you are supporting a loved one, working in the community, or simply want to be better informed, this workshop will provide accessible, evidence-based information in a welcoming and judgment-free space.

What We’ll Cover:

• What harm reduction is (and what it isn’t)
• Understanding substance use and stigma
• Substance use and its impact on mental health (for the substance user & affected others!)
• Practical strategies to reduce risk and promote safety
• How to have supportive, nonjudgmental conversations
• Local resources and pathways to care

This workshop centers dignity, compassion, and community care. No prior knowledge or experience is required.
