This archived webinar introduces clinicians to an effective strategy to engage vulnerable persons into primary care, behavioral health, and other stabilizing services. Adopting a harm reduction approach can be controversial and building staff and community support for it can be a challenge. Participants will learn from other providers who have successfully adopted a harm reduction approach to work with homeless individuals whose severe impairments have made it difficult to sustain a permanent housing placement and to successfully utilize consistent medical care. Results of the training include increased employment of best practices of harm reduction in the context of improving and maintaining one’s health and in the context of accessing and maintaining housing.
Beginning September 1, 2009, CME/CE credit is available upon completion of pre-and post-test requirements related to the publication. Learners proceed at their own pace. To register for credit and receive the enrollment key, click here.
