May 7th is known as international harm reduction day, a day to shift the focus from judgment to safety, emphasizing that every person deserves dignity and health, regardless of their circumstances. By promoting evidence-based strategies like needle exchanges, naloxone distribution, and recovery programs that meet people where they are, we reduce the risks of overdose and disease while building a more compassionate, inclusive society.
The Central Community Health Centre's mission is to provide equitable care for the community, and harm reduction helps us do just that.
