Harm Reduction Awareness-Raising Posters

This series of 4 posters - available online and in printed format - emerges from a cross-Canada tour of community-based harm reduction programmes that provide services to people who use illegal drugs. The Canadian Harm Reduction Network (CHRN) and the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) conducted a symposium and a series of site visits of various harm reduction programmes and services, as well as focus groups with people who use drugs and/or the services, to document harm reduction programmes and practices, and to see what works well and what does not.

The posters include images and quotations from focus group participants who were part of the 17-month research and information-dissemination process. They are designed to raise awareness and could be used as a resource by someone who uses or has used drugs, a frontline service provider, an administrator, a programme developer, a researcher, a public servant, or an advocate.
