Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This project aims to educate staff and participants in residential facilities about the practices of harm reduction through open dialogue. The essence of having this discussion is to highlight the ways in which these programs already implement these practices and can further develop harm reduction methods to best support their population. The topics are framed around the concepts of self awareness, safety (physical & emotional)concerns, best practices, and lasty defining harm reduction as whole through team building activities. By collectively choosing a harm reduction philosophy we can begin to address the risks and work together in developing safer and healthier ways to minimize harm.
