    Summary:
    The Harm Reduction Division at Hamilton County Public Health conducted interviews with S.A.F.E. (Stigma-free Access for Everyone, formerly Syringe Service Program) Services participants to better understand the community culture, needs, and hear feedback about their personal experiences. The surveys were completed between May and June of 2022 with 148 responses. The conversations centered around the importance of expanding harm reduction programs throughout the county, creating trustworthy spaces for support, and providing more education to the public on the complexity of fentanyl, Naloxone use, and the impact of stigma. During this webinar, you will hear from HCPH on how and why this innovative project was created, key takeaways from the interview interactions, and strategies to replicate this initiative in your own community. We hope you can join us for this Hamilton County Public Health OD2A Webinar and participate in this very critical conversation.

    Learning Objectives:
    1. Describe S.A.F.E. Services participant opinions on ways to increase the safety of illicit drug use.
    2. Demonstrate the need for continued education to promote the best outcomes with the use of naloxone.
    3. Examine the impact of stigma from the person using drugs perspective.
