Walking the Line: Emergent Perspectives on Harm Reduction

Issues of drug use, disease, and harm reduction have generated a great deal of misunderstanding. What can we learn from harm reduction? How does harm reduction impact our communities?

Bring your questions and opinions for discussion with some of Western Canada’s leading academics and professionals working in and on issues of harm reduction. Find out what their opinions are, and share your own.

Glenn Betteridge's HIV, Disclosure & the Law powerpoint presentations from the Feb. 22nd are now available for download.
