When hearing the term “harm reduction” people often think of safe injection sites, supervised consumption and sterile supply distribution. But more than a list of interventions, harm reduction works to minimize the harms associated with substances, accepting that the use of regulated and unregulated substances will continue, just as it has for hundreds of years.
