The Center of Optimal Living is hosting dialogues that explore the various matrices of harm reduction practices, from advocacy and public health programs to psychological treatments among Latinx and Spanish-speaking Caribbean communities in the US. Given the urgency of the ongoing pandemics of racism and covid-19 and upcoming US elections, these dialogues will focus on identifying the priorities and needs of Latinx and Spanish-speaking Caribbean communities in the US, along with creating a collective action roadmap.

WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?
Educators, frontline harm reduction staff and participants, mental health providers, students of public health, psychology and social work, practitioners of these mental health fields. What all of these stakeholders share: Work with Latinx communities and individuals. Spanish/English, monolingual and bilingual.

We invite attendees to be thinking about what are the major priorities to meet the harm reduction health needs of these communities. This event will be in both English and Spanish.
