About
The Harm Reduction Learning Institute, part of the DC Engage program, was created by HealthHIV with funding from DC Health HAHSTA to engage the Washington, DC harm reduction community through an online resource for harm reduction information and education. The Institute links all components of the DC Engage program, from the annual harm reduction conference and micro-grantees to online training and education.
DC Engage
DC Engage, led by HealthHIV with funding from DC Health HAHSTA, strengthens the capacity of aspiring or established community-based organizations and peer-led coalitions to integrate culturally and linguistically appropriate, evidence-based, and promising practice models to prevent opioid overdoses, enhance access to prevention and treatment, and to reduce deaths associated with opioid use. These organizations address the needs of persons who use and/or inject drugs.
