Harm Reduction started as a grassroots movement over forty years ago and has become an evidence based public health approach practiced around the world. Come learn how two organizations, New Directions and the New England Center and Home for Veterans, have implemented harm reduction approaches in their veteran programming. The session will be grounded in a discussion of the research and evidence for harm reduction approaches. 

Speakers: Eric Elbogen, Researcher, National Center for Homelessness Among Veterans, Lena Asmar, VP Human Services, New England Center and Home for Veterans; Maurice Carter, GPD Manager, New Directions
