Title of Presentation: New Harm Reduction Resources and Policies: What is on the Horizon?
Description: This webinar will explore the ramifications of the recent significant shift in harm reduction policies that impacts nearly every human service system, especially the justice system. It will outline the scope of harm reduction strategies SAMHSA intends to fund and support, current harm reduction resources that may benefit reentering RSAT participants, and the programs that are likely to become available soon. The interactive portions of the webinar will engage participants in conversations about sensitive issues, and when and if promoting harm reduction sends conflicting messages to clients. It will also address how RSAT program staff can identify and prioritize the elements of harm reduction that align with needs, risks, and goals of reentering individuals in recovery.
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Access information on the current harm reduction strategies SAMHSA supports.
- Identify at least 3 types of harm reduction resources that are relevant to pre-release planning for RSAT participants.
- Reflect on topics you feel comfortable including in the psychoeducational aspects of RSAT programming and name one or more you’d prefer to exclude.
