HRW MEETINGS are Harm Reduction Works meetings, which follow the standard Harm Reduction Works script unless otherwise noted.

If you're unfamiliar with HRW meetings, please find some resources here that can help bring you up to speed!
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.
ONLINE MEETINGS happen via web browser, phone or app (usually Zoom or Jitsi). You can find the links to attend on each event's page. If any given meeting has a password, look for it in the event description.
IN PERSON MEETINGS happen at physical locations, listed on each event. These meetings may also have an online attendance option, which will be listed on the event page, and meetings with an online attendance option will also appear in the ONLINE MEETINGS section.
COMMUNITY EVENTS are not HRW meetings, but align with the ideas behind Harm Reduction Works. These may be meetings people who host or attend HRW meetings are involved in organizing, and at the minimum are events someone's thought might be of interest to someone who'd attend or host a HRW meeting.

Please note that we choose not to list events with meeting formats created to guide participants towards decreased substance use, as opposed to trusting participants to determine their own best paths. While we do believe meetings in this format may certainly exist under the umbrella of harm reduction, we also feel that meetings of this nature are not difficult to find and choose to use this project to only promote events not predicated on changes in a person's relationship to substances (or any other criminalized, marginalized, or stigmatized practices).
