To mark the publication of The Mental Health Challenges Faced by Harm Reduction Staff, we invite you to join the webinar on the 15th of February!

The publication is a segment of Correlation – European Harm Reduction Network (C-EHRN)’s Civil Society-led Monitoring of Harm Reduction In Europe 2023 Data Report and is dedicated to the well-being and working environment of harm reduction staff. The study focuses on the various challenges harm reduction workers encounter in their work and how those challenges affect them and their organisations, as well as coping mechanisms and organisational opportunities for support.

The participants in this study are identified as focal points within the C-EHRN. The network encompasses a diverse array of contributors, including grassroots and community-based organisations, service providers, drug user organisations, and research entities. Within this network, focal points act as hubs for collecting data and information on a broad range of issues related to harm reduction in the cities they work.

During the webinar, 3 representatives of the participating focal points will join the primary author, Laoise Darragh, to discuss the findings.

Panellists:
Laoise Darragh (C-EHRN)
Magdalena Bartnik (Prekursor Foundation for Social Policy, Warsaw, PL)
Martin Blakebrough (Kaleidoscope 68 Project, Newport, GB)
Tessa Windelinckx (Free Clinic, Antwerp, BE)
