Anyone interested in learning more about harm reduction & seeing harm reduction in practice? The Chicago Recovery Alliance (CRA) has generously offered to host an informal offsite for APA attendees. The offsite will take place during the conference (independent transport will be arranged) on Friday, August 9th from 11:30-3:30 (after the panel on Safer Consumption Sites: check out the Division 50 program for all the details). CRA is a comprehensive, street-based harm reduction organization operating principally in Chicago but also across the State of Illinois and throughout the Midwest. They offer the nation’s largest overdose education and naloxone distribution program, distribute several million syringes for HIV/HCV prevention annually, provide HIV/HCV testing and linkage to care, provide respectful safer substance use counseling and materials, and deliver training and technical assistance on a wide range of innovative topics locally and nationally. Because of space limitations, this offer is limited to the first 25 people who sign up. You can do so here: https://docs.google.com/
Resources are available for those struggling with addiction and numerous effective treatments exist. Whether you are looking for help for yourself or a loved one, we encourage you to seek out help.
