Today is International Harm Reduction Day

Today is International Harm Reduction Day.

When it comes to harm reduction stigma matters
People who use drugs, especially those struggling with addiction face discrimination and barriers to getting help.

Stigma can:
• lead a person to avoid getting help because they are afraid of judgement or getting in trouble with work,
their loved ones or even the law
• cause a person to hide their drug use or use drugs alone
• affect a person’s ability to find housing and jobs, which affects their health and quality of life
• contribute to people who use drugs receiving a lower quality of care from the healthcare system when they access services.

Changing how you talk about drug use
The language you use has a direct and deep impact on people around you. You can reduce stigma by changing the words you
use to talk about drug use. Using kind words can make it easier for someone to speak up, to feel understood or to receive help.
• Use person-first language, for example say ‘person who uses drugs’ instead of ‘drug user’
• Use neutral, medically accurate words when describing drug use.

Remember we are here to provide you with safe drug and s*x supplies, education and training. Reach out to see how we can support you.

Our Education Coordinator is at the Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research this week highlighting some of the participatory action research we do.😀

Good luck and safe travels to Heather, our Education Coordinator, this week!

She will be presenting a poster at highlighting work to bridge HIV care access gaps for structurally excluded patients in New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick.

This is one of many Participatory Action Research projects at AIDS New Brunswick, focused on collaboration and community-driven approaches to reducing stigma, improving access to care, and addressing the social determinants of health for people living with HIV and people who use drugs.

Last year, we presented two posters: one on “Expanding Access to Harm Reduction Supplies in Underserved and Rural Communities” and another on “Findings from Consultations with People Living with HIV Regarding Socio-emotional Support in New Brunswick.”

This work gives our team the opportunity to bring together research, education, and action—with participants actively involved in defining problems, collecting data, and implementing solutions—helping to create more responsive services and programs.

Big thank you to everyone involved😀

This week is National Volunteers week and we would like to give a GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT to all of the people who volunteer with us in so many different ways.
From such things as community clean ups, kit making, outreach, planning and taking part in events, being on the Board of Directors to presenting before an audience of students, community groups or politicians and advocating on behalf of the people we serve.
You bring a warmth, a connection and purpose throughout the community with your act of giving and we love you for it.💖
