Training and consulting
We provide paid consultation and training for individuals and groups who desire to implement harm reduction practices within their organizations. As the landscape of drug use, both licit and illicit continues to take shape, SPW remains a leader in best practices that address both organizational needs and best outcomes for clients.
We offer a sliding scale and will work with you to meet your budget.

“The polls were fun, the lack of stuffiness is always appreciated, the way it was established as a safe space to share and the consistent reiteration via vulnerable sharing.”
