<b>Presenter: Riikka Perälä</b><br>
This presentation will discuss the importance of trust-based relationships and dialogue in Housing First work. Principles of client choice, flexible support, and person-centered planning challenge traditional professional ways of working with people with a
background in homelessness and concerns with substance use. The presenter will give examples of different ways in which less harmful substance use can be promoted and maintained through interactional means in the support work carried out in clients' homes.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3"><b><span lang="EN-US">Some Practical Skills for Harm Reduction in Housing First<br>
Presenter: Lukas Maitland</span></b><span lang="EN-US"><br>
Harm reduction is a natural fit with Housing First work but we often struggle to find practical skills to support clients who are struggling with substance use. This presentation will provide some tools to enhance self-awareness and reduce your reactivity to
client substance use. You will also hear about three practical skills you can use when working with your clients to improve your ability to work together and reduce the impacts of substance use on tenancy.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
