Deep dives
Peer-to-Peer Harm Reduction
Effective harm reduction strategies for college students are based on peer-to-peer education, which helps reduce stigma and judgment around substance use. Students often feel judged by traditional approaches, leading them to be more receptive to messages from their peers who understand their experiences. For instance, organizations like the Carolina Harm Reduction Union provide education on safe drug practices and distribute harm reduction tools like naloxone and fentanyl testing strips. By meeting students where they are, these programs foster open dialogue and trust, enabling students to learn how to engage with substances safely.
