harms reduction

Harm reduction is a practical approach aimed at minimizing the negative health, social, and legal impacts associated with certain behaviors, such as substance use. Instead of demanding complete abstinence, it focuses on reducing risks through measures like safer usage guidelines, access to health services, and education. This approach recognizes that while some behaviors may continue, steps can be taken to prevent harm, improve well-being, and save lives. Overall, harm reduction promotes compassion and practicality in addressing complex health issues without judgment.
