This year’s theme calls us to recognize the people and programs advancing harm reduction, reflect on lives lost and lessons learned, and reach toward a more compassionate, equitable future.

This multifaceted event, created by the New York State Department of Health, Office of Drug User Health, demonstrates the state’s deep commitment to ending the overdose crisis.

We will honor those working to end stigma and promote life and health equity across New York State by elevating harm reduction practices, services, and support.

Anyone may attend this free, virtual event.
