2025 HRS: Harm Reduction Community Advocacy and Policy Discussions at the Local and State Level

Healthcare teams lack awareness and knowledge about harm reduction services, including 1) prevention and response efforts, 2) available resources, 3) promising practices, 4) disease testing and prevention, 5) addiction and recovery services, 6) local and state partnerships, and 7) the current status of the drug overdose epidemic. Individuals seeking help face significant challenges, including transportation barriers, the inability to leave work without risking job loss, and responsibilities for children, pets, or other dependents. Navigators responsible for linking clients to care also encounter obstacles, such as clients having more immediate or pressing needs like housing or employment, a brief window of time when clients are ready and willing to seek help, and the lack of readily available information on clients’ accessibility needs in existing programs. Online resources play a critical role in addressing these challenges by offering flexible, accessible support options that can bridge the gap between immediate needs and long-term care.
