Harm Reduction is a set of strategies to reduce the negative consequences of drug use and improve quality of life, including safer use, managed use, and abstinence. Clinicians meet clients “where they’re at” to learn their emotional defenses and strengths. Learn the principles of harm reduction and their relationship to modern psychoanalytic techniques. Bring cases for discussion. Complimentary breakfast. No charge. RSVP.
