    TRAINING DESCRIPTION:

    Harm Reduction Strategies: Practical Applications for Clinical and Community Settings is a training for SUD clinicians and leaders that explores practical, evidence-informed approaches to reducing substance-related harm in clinical and community settings. Participants will examine harm reduction principles, overdose prevention, stigma reduction, trauma-informed engagement, and strategies for integrating person-centered care into assessment, treatment planning, referral, and organizational practice. The training is designed to support implementation in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Nebraska, with a focus on rural practice and cross-system collaboration.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    1. Define harm reduction and describe its relevance to substance use disorder treatment and community practice.
    2. Identify at least three evidence-based harm reduction interventions that reduce overdose risk and other substance-related harms.
    3. Apply trauma-informed and non-stigmatizing communication strategies to improve engagement with individuals who use substances.
    4. Assess overdose and safety risks and provide practical education on risk reduction, including naloxone use and referral to community supports.
    5. Integrate harm reduction principles into treatment planning, service delivery, and care coordination while honoring participant autonomy and readiness for change.
    6. Recognize ethical, cultural, and systems considerations affecting harm reduction implementation in clinical and community settings.
    7. Develop one actionable strategy to strengthen harm reduction practices within their own clinical, organizational, or community environment.
