We are also the organizers of the bridges coalition for overdose prevention sites, which has been working with baltimore city officials to establish an overdose prevention site (ops) in the city. Finally, bhrc is a leading harm reduction organization that provides comprehensive training and educational opportunities in an effort to ground all relevant community, mutual aid, and public health responses in a harm reduction framework. We combat the stigmas surrounding drug use and sex work by humanizing individuals impacted by systemic challenges, sharing evidence-based strategies that improve health outcomes, community safety, and reduce healthcare costs, and offering trainings on harm reduction philosophy, drug policy history, overdose prevention, and practical intervention skills.
