Harm Reduction Therapeutics
@hrtherapeutics
Modern-day harm reduction has been shaped by Black women throughout history who improve the lives & safety of Black communities and people who use drugs (PWUD). The world of harm reduction wouldn’t be the same without the leadership, commitment & compassion of these incredible harm reductionists.

Word choice matters in every aspect of life, and harm reduction is no exception. We’re proud to bring in the voice of Van Asher, a long time harm reductionist, social justice advocate & leader of learning sessions on compassionate language to speak on its importance. Take a listen.🔊
This month is Mental Health Awareness Month, which means we’re thinking about the mental wellbeing of everyone in our communities, regardless of your story. This year’s theme resonated with us since our core belief is that everyone deserves another day on Earth with their loved ones.🩶
The Hippocratic Oath and Compassionate Overdose Response™️ are deeply intertwined - both are guided by care and respect for the patient above all. RiVive’s 3 mg naloxone nasal spray is an effective way to reverse opioid overdose while minimizing harm.🤝⚕️
Compassion in action – that’s a phrase we live by here at HRT. Doing the compassionate thing matters, whether it’s how you respond to an overdose situation or how you interact with the people in your community on a daily basis.🫂
Black History Month and the history of harm reduction are inseparable in our minds. Without perseverance and pioneering from Black activist groups & communities, we simply would not have the harm reduction principles that we have today. (cont. in comments)
The most compassionate choice you can make is a low dose option like RiVive 3 mg naloxone nasal spray or a 0.4 mg/1ml intramuscular naloxone syringe to reverse an overdose. Let’s not make their experience more distressing by using too much naloxone.🤝
Hero of the harm reduction community and friend of HRT’s very own Van Asher, Dan Bigg is remembered for his incredible contributions to making naloxone accessible for all. He embodies all that we aim to be here at HRT. 🩶
On National Naloxone Awareness Day, we want to reflect on how far naloxone development has come and look forward to how we can increase accessibility to the medication in its most compassionate form: RiVive 3 mg.
Words can hurt, but they can also heal.❤️🩹 In harm reduction, the language that reduces stigma matters. Compassionate dosing and compassionate communication go hand in hand.
When naloxone blocks the opioid from reaching the receptors in the brain, breathing is restored, the overdose is reversed, and a life is saved. But this is often a really difficult experience for the person who overdosed, especially when too high a dose of naloxone is used. (cont. in comments)

Congress cannot allow the Trump Administration to start another unauthorized war — in Cuba or anywhere else. As we work to end the war in Iran, Congress must act preemptively to prevent another illegal conflict before it begins.

Update from D.C.: Overnight, the Senate passed a bill that would fund the vital parts of DHS, like TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and cybersecurity professionals without handing ICE and CBP a blank check. Now, the House needs to get this passed. We’ll see if Republicans can get out of their own way.

The Larrakia Nation turned up today to the hearing into youth justice but the NT Government (who are the ones responsible for the harms kids are facing in the NT) has refused to come. I agree with Uncle Eric Fejo that it's an absolute disgrace.
