Harm Reduction for Trauma

Nonjudgment in Practice:

Avoid labeling people as “bad” or “noncompliant.”

Safety First in Practice:

Create spaces where people feel accepted and protected from re-traumatization.

Autonomy in Practice:

Respect individual choices about drug use, healing practices, or coping methods. Support informed decision-making without coercion or pressure.

Empowerment in Practice:

Recognize resilience. Trauma survivors are experts in their own experiences.
