Hi friend,
Our team at National Harm Reduction Coalition is thrilled to announce our new name, new look, and new website! The Harm Reduction movement has changed over the course of 25 years and so has our organization. More than 900,000 people access the resources on harmreduction.org each year. Our website is a valuable resource to people who use drugs and their loved ones, harm reduction programs, public health departments, health care workers, researchers, students, and drug treatment providers across the country.
explore the website
Nearly 100 people worked on the new brand and website project, including many National Harm Reduction Coalition staff, a community stakeholder board and agency partners at Joybyte! Here are a few things we’re excited to share:
We evaluated hundreds of resources for accuracy, relevance, and accessibility. The new resource library is organized by issue, fully searchable, more accessible to people who use assistive technology, and more resources are now available in Spanish (with more to come).
Meet some of the people working toward a future rooted in harm reduction principles and practices on our new Faces of Harm Reduction page! We will continue working with the community to uplift leadership in our movement across the country. Whether you were part of making history or you’re learning about the history of harm reduction today, you can also read more about the evolution of the Harm Reduction movement and the Principles of Harm Reduction on the new website.
People who use drugs have intersecting identities that experience systems of structural violence differently. As we work to uproot systems of structural violence, we recognize that we have to learn from organizations and movements intertwined with ours. This space serves to uplift and amplify social justice work that is critical to the liberation of people who use drugs in categories that will expand over time, but include: Racial Equity, Gender Justice, Decriminalizing Sex Work, Decarcertaion, Housing, Reproductive Justice, Healthcare, and Young People.

Looking for something?
If you are looking for an old resource you can’t find on our website any longer, you can visit the archive of retired files here.
Our Public Drive now hosts templates like policies and procedures or basic presentations for harm reduction programs to use as they see fit, so you can focus on the work instead of reinventing the wheel!
Take me to the public drive
Enjoy!
