Introduction to ‘the community at the heart of the response’
The second activity of week 2 looks into the community aspect of harm reduction. By now, you have heard many people underlining how the community involvement forms the foundation of a harm reduction response. Judy and Ernst give you the outlines of how this topic will be covered in the next steps.
Judy will examine the difference between community-based and community-led harm reduction. This activity will also cover some more practical insights on how to start, foster, support and scale-up community mobilisation initiatives. Mat Southwell will talk us through the ‘peer-work’ and the ‘self-organising’ components of community mobilisation.
