Harm Reduction In the Headlines: Media Engagement 101 (webinar)

Harm Reduction In the Headlines: Media Engagement 101:

Hosted by Remedy Alliance for the People & The Action Lab at Northeastern University

Media attention can amplify harm reduction work — or distort it. Join us to unpack how programs get pulled into harmful media narratives, how misinformation spreads, and how to decide when to speak up or step back. Learn strategies to protect your program while staying grounded in your values.
