Harm Reduction Workshop Series Development

MacEwan University: The Coalition for Harm Reduction at MacEwan (CHARM for short) aims to enhance campus well-being through educational workshops on harm reduction. The goal is to address issues such as stigma reduction, harm reduction strategies, health-promoting behaviours, and service awareness. This project involves planning and implementing a series of workshops that will educate students on these topics, fostering a safer and more informed campus community. The workshops should be interactive, engaging, and tailored to the needs of the student population. By applying classroom knowledge in nursing, health sciences, psychology, or social work, learners will gain practical experience in educational program development and delivery. The project will also involve researching best practices in harm reduction education and evaluating the effectiveness of the workshops.
