Family physicians see patients in a wide range of ages, life stages and backgrounds. It is therefore statistically likely that some patients are active users of harmful drugs. And in primary care, it is vital to provide compassionate and effective care to these patients who need it most.

Register to join the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) for the  free webinar Harm Reduction in Primary Care: Principles, Practice, and Partnerships on Tuesday, September 9, at 7 p.m.

Central to providing healthcare in such scenarios is the idea of harm reduction — a group of strategies designed to help reduce the negative consequences of drug use. This one-hour webinar will cover how family physicians can implement harm reduction in primary care as it relates to opioid use and other harmful drug use. Attendees will hear about stigma and harm reduction from both a patient sharing their experience and a subject matter expert.
