*Please share widely*
The Educate the Educators forum aims to inform harm reduction and related policies and programs.  Join us for a day of growth and info-sharing, through connecting our lived experiences and gathered knowledge.  This peer-driven event is organized to affirm the good work being done, challenge the barriers that we face, highlight innovations in harm reduction services, and demonstrate how 'Nothing About Us Without Us' is the future.
