Harm reduction, recovery and human rights

A panel of passionate harm reductionists, treatment providers and recovery advocates – how do we overcome the polarity and stigma in our sector between harm reduction and recovery.

Achieving a balanced sector ecosystem

The new drug strategy asks us to collaborate and work in partnership as a priority. How do we build a thriving sector ecosystem? 

Exploring sector ecosystems with sociodrama 

Sociodrama seeks to define a problem a group would like to solve or find a situation in which they would like to gain greater understanding.

Facilitator Valerie Monti-Holland co-creates a space where the experiences of people accessing support can be explored and explore what better would look like.
