JUNE 18, 2024 ~ 7PM EST

The primary goal of harm reduction is to minimize the negative consequences associated with high-risk behaviors. It is centered around a compassionate, client-centered approach, prioritizing the unique needs, goals, and autonomy of each individual. I believe that change doesn't always mean complete elimination of a behavior or substance. That's why in harm reduction the focus lies in minimizing potential harms, fostering engagement, and inspiring incremental progress in our clients' lives.

In this class, we will go over the tenants of harm reduction and apply these skills to real cases from Mel's clinical practice. You will learn how to apply harm reduction skills to co-create health plans with clients, build trust and resilience through empowerment. Class is interactive and discussion based. 

Mel Kasting, RH (AHG) is a practicing clinical herbalist, educator, poet, and emergent facilitator. Currently, she holds the positions of Clinical Program Director and Free Clinic Manager at the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine. In these roles, she helps clients to get the support they need while guiding students through the rigorous process of preparing for and participating in active clinicals.
