Our Issues

Youth RISE has been working on harm reduction since we were founded in 2006. On the page below, you will find what we mean by harm reduction, what harm reduction means in practice, why harm reduction and young people is such an important issue, what barriers exist for young people to access harm reduction as well as other information on overdose prevention, nightlife harm reduction tips, and strategies for discussing drug worries with your friends.


The second key area of Youth RISE's work is around drug policy and supporting the creation and implementation of evidence based drug policies. The page below explains what is meant by drug policy and what drug policies typically look like, why we believe current drug policies arent working and lastly, what drug policies we would like to see.
