About

Connecting: A Guide to Using Harm Reduction Supplies as Engagement Tools provides clear and stigma-free information to frontline harm reduction workers. It was developed based on the Best Practice Recommendations for Canadian Harm Reduction Programs and focus group consultations across the province.

This course includes an introduction to the Connecting Guide, downloads of the Connecting Guide and related resources, and the webinar recording of the Connecting Guide launch. In the webinar, we share the story of how the Connecting Guide was developed and explore concrete ways to use it in day-to-day work. The webinar is presented by the Ontario Harm Reduction Distribution Program and the Ontario Harm Reduction Network.
