Harm reduction is a recovery oriented essential practice that can be used by any health care worker regardless of the setting. It values the consumers own experiences with substance use and mental health and supports their expertise in planning and decision-making.

“The Commission's recommended approach to integrated care in Victoria's future mental health and wellbeing system aligns with a harm minimisation approach". (P 289 RCMH Report Vol 3 2021)

This event is an opportunity to ask questions about the 2020 webinar Harm Reduction- An empowering, person centred approach to Substance Use and Mental Health which was designed and delivered by staff from Nexus Dual Diagnosis Service, Harm Reduction Victoria, Mind Australia and Wellways. Brought to you by NEMHSCA, Yarra Drug and Health Forum and Yarra Mental Health Alliance.

It is highly recommended that you watch the webinar before the reflective session. The reflective session will be a chance to ask questions about the implementation of the BDA Model and things to consider when implementing harm reduction at your service.

The webinar link will be provided to you upon registration.
