About Florida Harm Reduction Collective

Florida Harm Reduction Collective is a broad network of Syringe Services Programs, Recovery Community Organizations, Grassroots Overdose Response groups, legal experts, and medical and behavioral health providers work to break down siloes and work together on the missions and visions of allied partners.

Our History

In 2019, a small group of Harm Reduction activists met at Rebel Recovery in West Palm Beach to link together and found Florida Harm Reduction Collective, Inc. The Collective received its 501(c)3 status in 2021 and continues to expand!  Over the past 6 years we have connected with thousands of people across the state, developed a Rapid HIV/HCV testing program, hosted dozens in informational webinars, provided technical assistance, hosted 3 statewide Harm Reduction Conferences (see below for information about the 4th Annual Florida Harm Reduction Conference), and brought together hundreds of likeminded folks from across Florida.  Currently, we are expanding our work across the Southern United States.  Membership is self-defined.  Won’t you join us?


Announcing our Southern Harm Reduction Learning Series.

Harm Reduction is a set of strategies that help to reduce or eliminate the harms that are associated with substance use. This includes efforts ranging anywhere from building relationships with individuals who are unhoused and/or use drugs, to pushing towards ending the War on Drugs. Harm reduction re-humanizes people by removing stigma, creating the potential for bodily autonomy, and supporting incremental positive changes and healthier decisions.

  • Harm Reduction aims to create accessible and  supporting programs and conditions for People With Living/Lived Experiences in Drug Use.  By working to reduce stigma and barriers to care, Harm Reduction seeks to improve living conditions one positive change at a time.  Guided by the lived experiences of People With Living/Lived Experiences and peer-reviewed scientific research, Harm Reduction envisions a future where people not only survice, but have the opportunity to thrive.
