Harm Reduction organizations
These are organizations which I either have worked with or I know due to the excellent work they have. They are a good source of information and definitely worth visiting, either in person or virtually.
The list is being updated and is not representative of all harm reduction organizations existing in these locations. If you happen to know another organization whose work on harm reduction you would like to share, please do it!
