Faith in Harm Reduction is a non-profit organization that fosters opportunities for the co-creation of spiritual community and relationship building in partnership with people who use drugs and other harm reduction community leaders. Through the hosting of events and a growing national network of Faith in Harm Reduction leaders who provide peer to peer support, information sharing, and spiritual care for the harm reduction movement, Faith in Harm Reduction strengthens spiritual resources for harm reduction and intersectional healing and justice movements.

This toolkit explains how faith communities can contribute to harm reduction efforts within their communities in order to change principles, practices, and policies.

This presentation focuses on strategies to engage communities of faith in overdose prevention efforts, identifies potential barriers and facilitators to implement overdose prevention strategies among communities of faith, and the presenters discuss resources that can be used to empower faith leaders to address the opioid epidemic in their communities.
