Continuum of Care in Tennessee

August 13 – August 15, 2024

Join us for an engaging conference where we delve into the diverse spectrum of harm reduction interventions available in Tennessee. Our mission is threefold:

Understanding the Landscape: We’ll begin by comprehensively assessing the current state of harm reduction efforts in Tennessee. By examining existing programs, policies, and challenges, we aim to gain a holistic perspective.

Innovative Projects and Boundaries: Explore groundbreaking projects and interventions that are pushing the boundaries of drug user health work in the South. From creative outreach initiatives to novel harm reduction strategies, we’ll showcase the cutting-edge work being done.

Community Building and Momentum: Our goal is to foster a strong network of providers committed to expanding care options for individuals who use drugs. By coming together during this annual gathering, we’ll harness the momentum to improve services and advocate for change. Let’s address cultural and political barriers head-on and create a supportive environment for those in need.
