WHO WE ARE
The New York State Harm Reduction Association (NYSHRA) was formed out of an understanding that we are stronger together than we are alone. A collective of prominent organizations with natural synergies have come together to leverage our voices of advocacy, public policy, and clinical expertise in order to effect social change. We aim to achieve our mission through:
WHAT IS HARM REDUCTION?
Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs.
