Welcome to Our Space!
Harm reduction is a culturally-centered belief that all our community members deserve community, cultural access, and dignity. We have developed this toolkit as a resource to expand capacity for our Native communities in California to implement harm reduction programming. Harm reduction saves lives and keeps our community together.
This is the in-between space for people at all places in their journey to find trust, community, and centeredness. Harm reduction is an empowering force to help our relatives have the space to choose healing without judgment.
We have developed and compiled a series of toolkit modules, resources from across the state and beyond, and community activities for our Native people across California to feel empowered and prepared. These resources are open to all who might find them useful. We’re glad to have you join us!
