Resources on harm reduction

The Sharing Together initiative helped identify harm reduction as an evidence priority in Ontario. 

The top two evidence needs within this theme prioritized by Sharing Together stakeholders are:

• Effective harm reduction approaches for harmful behaviours, substance use, and various types of addictions
• How to reduce stigma and increase awareness of harm reduction

Below are some EENet resources related to this theme:

• Developing a comprehensive system-level approach to FASD in Simcoe County
• Toronto Community Hepatitis C Program meets people where they’re at to improve access to information and treatment
• Harm Reduction in Gambling
• Opioid use in Ontario: Evidence for change

Here are some resources from our partners:

• Algonquin College Umbrella Project - training, workshops, education, awareness, and support services for students and staff on harm reduction approaches with alcohol and other drugs.
• Developing Canada’s First National Low-Risk Gambling Guidelines, from the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction
• Canada's Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines,from  the Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Misuse and CAMH.
