High-Risk Health Behaviors & Harm Reduct

Harm Reduction Program Presentation

High-Risk Health Behaviors & Harm Reduction

This class helped make me think critically about how public health helps to prevent harm and health risks in the community. Below is a project in which my group developed our own harm reduction initiative.

What I learned

I learned that many health programs are created by what each community in a population is going through. Everyone is different and not every community needs the same program. Listening to other groups with different topics and doing my own opened my eyes to see that so many things could be changed if we go to the people of that community and talk with them.
