Meaningful Involvement with People Who Use Drugs

The National Harm Reduction Technical Assistance Center (NHRTAC), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), will be hosting a virtual learning community, February 27th.
