Injecting Advice has been running since Febuary 2007, it offers support and advice to people working in harm reduction services (especially needle programmes) and to people who inject drugs.

Harm Reduction is (in this context) a pragmatic approach to drug use that aims to meet users where they are. This involves giving advice to improve the health situation of the individual without forcing the need for change. This doesn’t mean not trying to help people stop using drugs it just means that the focus is on working with the immediate issues as a priority (eg overdose interventions, wound care etc… you know.. the stuff that helps people stay alive). You can find out more about harm reduction on the website of Harm Reduction International.

Mainly me. Over the years I’ve occasionally had some level of banner advertising on the site, but at the moment the only thing paying the bills are some tshirt sales. However I’d be happy to return to having advertising at some point… if you want to support this work and you have something harm reduction related you want promoting let me know.
