Connecting Guide
Harm reduction supplies are the first point of contact for individuals who use substances with a service who can offer support. They are a engagement tool to begin conversations between harm reduction workers and service-users. Through engagement and relationship building, other services and supports can begin to be offered.
Connecting – A Guide to Using Harm Reduction Supplies as Engagement Tools, is a resource to support harm reduction workers about safer practices so they can support their service users with knowledge to decrease their risk of hepatitis C, HIV, and other infections.
Connecting is free for download! You'll find information on safer practices for injecting and inhalation, but also conversation starters to use with service-users, and information on household items that should never be used.
