Fundamentals of Perinatal Harm Reduction
With the fall of Roe v. Wade and the persistence of War on Drugs-era policies, pregnancy and substance use will be increasingly criminalized. Please join the Washington AIDS Partnership and the Academy of Perinatal Harm Reduction for a three-part, virtual series on the necessity of integrating harm reduction services and reproductive justice. We invite all health care providers, social service providers, and community organizers who are looking to better serve pregnant people in our communities to attend!
The topics of each of the three events are as follows:
Thursday, September 22nd, 6 PM: Harm reduction strategies for pregnant people who use drugs, with an emphasis on alcohol, tobacco/nicotine, and opioids.
Thursday, September 29th, 6 PM: Trauma-informed care for pregnant people who use drugs.
Thursday, October 6th, 6 PM: Expanding the role that health professionals can play in preventing the criminalization of pregnant people who use drugs.
