Healthcare teams lack awareness and knowledge about harm reduction services, including 1) prevention and response efforts, 2) available resources, 3) promising practices, 4) disease testing and prevention, 5) addiction and recovery services, 6) local and state partnerships, and 7) the current status of the drug overdose epidemic.

We are at a critical point in humanity where if we do not make the necessary steps to change our approaches to this work, the numbers of disproportionate negative outcomes, will continue to climb.
