We’re very excited to announce, there is a membership association in New York founded on Harm Reduction – it’s the New York State Harm Reduction Association (NYSHRA)! We are just ONE YEAR old and our brand new website was launched a few days ago. Please check it out! https://nyshra.org/
Truth Pharm’s Executive Director, Alexis Pleus, is very proud to be a founding member and now the co-chair of the association and serve along with many Harm Reduction Advocates and practitioners from across New York State.
NYSHRA is a membership organization that was formed out of an understanding that we are stronger together than we are alone. A collective of prominent organizations with natural synergies have come together to leverage our voices of advocacy, public policy, and clinical expertise in order to effect social change.
The mission of the New York State Harm Reduction Association (NYSHRA) is to introduce and promote harm reduction in New York State as a scientifically based treatment appropriate for substance use disorder, as well as a lifestyle approach to people who use substances.
NYSHRA fulfills this mission on behalf of clinical and other providers, and the consumers they serve, through public policy and advocacy, public awareness, clinical education, and research dissemination.
Join us and be part of the solution!
