Harm reduction and non-carceral mental health support

Written By Kiana Wiley

  • Alternatives to 911 

  • Marginalized or BIPOC communities and police involvement 

  • Evaluation and stigma 

  • Harm reduction definition 

    • Safety planning versus safety contract 

  • Communicate care, curiosity, and concern versus being punitive

    • counterproductive nature of consequences when someone is struggling (less likely to come to you for help, less likely to have improvements, guilt and shame for behavior)

  • Asking appropriately how you can be of support
