Special Interest Group B Harm Reduction Techniques for Health Educators

Harm Reduction Techniques for Health Educators

My special interest topic is on the premier therapeutic treatment, harm reduction at Truman Health Services in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I would like to introduce health educators to how we practice our harm reduction techniques. Lianna Maldonado will discuss harm reduction practices with adolescents and their sexual health. I will talk about harm reduction practices and people with substance use disorders. We will both lead break-out sessions and guide our participants on how to incorporate the teach-back. It is my hope to increase awareness on how harm reduction can be used in the health education setting.
