Harm Reduction As Justice: Policy, Courage, And Survival
The Importance of Harm Reduction
Harm reduction is an essential concept in our pursuit of justice, courage, and survival within our community. Recognizing that individuals can make their own choices, harm reduction strategies aim to minimize the negative consequences associated with various behaviors, particularly substance use and risky behaviors.
The Foundations of Harm Reduction
Harm reduction policies are built on the belief that everyone deserves respect, dignity, and compassion, regardless of their circumstances or choices. By approaching individuals with empathy and understanding, we can create an environment that encourages positive change and supports their journey towards improved well-being.
Harm Reduction in Practice
At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we firmly believe in the principles of harm reduction as a justice policy. We offer a range of services and programs that aim to reduce harm within our community, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
1. Education and Awareness
Our church provides comprehensive education and awareness programs to promote a deeper understanding of harm reduction. Through workshops, seminars, and discussions, we equip individuals with valuable knowledge on the risks associated with certain behaviors and empower them to take control of their lives.
2. Support and Counseling

We create a safe space where individuals can openly discuss their challenges and receive guidance on harm reduction strategies tailored to their specific needs.

Engaging with the wider community is a vital part of our harm reduction initiatives. We actively collaborate with local organizations, authorities, and community members to raise awareness about harm reduction and create a network of support for those in need. Together, we can make a positive impact and foster a more inclusive and compassionate society.
