SUMMARY - Reducing Stigma Through Harm Reduction

Reducing Stigma Through Harm Reduction

Stigma—negative attitudes, stereotypes, and discrimination—affects people who use drugs profoundly. Stigma discourages help-seeking, impedes access to services, damages health, and causes psychological harm. Harm reduction approaches both challenge stigma directly and create environments where stigmatized individuals can access services without judgment. Understanding how harm reduction reduces stigma helps communities develop more effective and humane responses to substance use.
