ForwardTrauma-Informed Approaches, Harm Reduction, and Minimizing Potential Harms of Our Services
Often services for People Who Use Drugs (PWUDs) are created in ways that can be coercive and not Trauma-Informed. This session looks at alignment between TIA and Harm Reduction services and philosophy to improve our services and work with PWUDs and improve health outcomes.
Target Audience

Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
- Discuss harm reduction as a trauma-informed approach related to HIV prevention/care and drug user health and social/environmental factors that might increase likelihood of trauma
- Describe methods to mitigate trauma within services
- Improve service delivery and reach PWUDs more effectively, particularly regarding the role of trauma, intergenerational trauma, vicarious trauma, and mental health
