As people of faith we are called to respond to the overdose crisis. Join us as we learn about Harm Reduction, a common sense approach to responding to drug related harm.

Local experts will host three educational sessions:

- Harm Reduction 101
- Ohio: The State of the State
- Nothing About Us Without Us : Centering People Who Use Drugs

We will also have time to connect with one another about the real struggles we are facing in this time of grief and concern.

Sponsored by: Harm Reduction Ohio, St John's Church Columbus, Faith in Public Life, Femminary, Harm Reduction Coalition, Judson Memorial Church, and Faith In Harm Reduction.

All Are Welcome! Clergy, Lay Ministers, People Who Use Drugs, Community Members
