Tips to Integrate Harm Reduction Approaches into Nonprofit and Community Messaging
Traditional communication strategies within nonprofit organizations often inadvertently perpetuate stigma, shame, and exclusion, particularly when addressing sensitive topics such as public health issues or social disparities. This workshop addresses these challenges by introducing participants to harm reduction approaches, which emphasize meeting individuals where they are, acknowledging their autonomy, and prioritizing harm minimization. By reframing communication strategies through a harm reduction lens, participants can better engage diverse audiences, reduce stigma, and foster collaborative solutions.
