HaRdCOREhARMREdUCER: Alcohol Harm Reduction network launched by IHRA

Jamie (IHRA)

Dear Colleagues,

IHRA are pleased to announce the launch of a new network and website dedicated to the topic of alcohol harm reduction:

www.ihra.net/alcohol

The Global Alcohol Harm Reduction Network – GAHR-Net - will provide a forum for researchers, advocates, practitioners, policy makers and communities to discuss practical alcohol harm reduction interventions and policy options. Through this network and the website, IHRA aims to develop a sense of belonging and community - connecting those who support or practice alcohol harm reduction and allowing for information exchange, the sharing of best practice and experiences, and discussions around key issues in the field. This is part of IHRA’s on-going commitment to promote harm reduction for all psychoactive substances.

Membership of this network is free, so please visit www.ihra.net/alcohol for more information and to join. Please feel free to circulate this message to any contacts you have and any networks or groups that you are in.

Please contact me if you have any alcohol harm reduction events, research, news or resources that you would like to promote via this website and network.

Best Regards,

Jamie Bridge
