Saving lives through overdose prevention, education, and com
WHAT IS HARM REDUCTION
Harm reduction is a practical, compassionate approach that focuses on keeping people safe. It recognizes that recovery is a journey and prioritizes reducing the risks associated with substance use while building trust, connection, and pathways to care.
At Illuminate NC, harm reduction means meeting people where they are—without judgment—and providing the tools and support needed to prevent overdose and save lives.
