Cocaine Harm Reduction: Stigma, Safer Use, and Support
Details
Join us for an interactive virtual workshop exploring cocaine and crack through a harm reduction lens.
Together, we will examine:
- Common myths about cocaine and crack, and the impact of stigma and criminalization
- The binge and comedown cycle, and supportive responses at different points in a person’s use
- Safer use strategies, overamping, overdose prevention, and recovery support
The session will include discussion, case scenarios, and practical harm reduction planning. It is designed for harm reduction and mental health workers, peer supporters, people with lived experience, and community members interested in nonjudgmental approaches to substance use.
No prior knowledge is required. Participants are welcome to engage at whatever level feels comfortable.
