A project of HRH413, Harm Reduction Works-HRW is a fully scripted, harm reduction based self-help/mutual aid group, originally conceived as an alternative to abstinence-only organizations like 12 step. We began in Northampton, MA in March 2019, and did an official national launch at the Drug Policy Alliance Reform Conference in November of that year.

OPEN meetings are open to anyone interested in practicing or learning more about harm reduction, for any reason.
FOCUSED meetings are for people currently using drugs or alcohol, anyone who has a history of drug or alcohol use, or anyone considering using drugs or drinking.
SPECIALIZED meetings are for people of a given status or identity, such as LGBTQ+, parent/guardian of someone who uses drugs or drinks, neurodivergent, etc.

The HRW Meeting Calendar is a collaboration between HRH413 and Cool Industries, running the Gancio activitypub event platform by underscore hacklab.
