17th International conference on the reduction of drug-related harm. Hear + Now: The Peer Conference
The Hear in this year's conference theme highlights our determination to support the "global dialogue" around harm reduction. The Now emphasises our need to act on what we learn immediately. In specific term, PEER represents protection, empowerment, equality and respect - the backbone of harm-reduction programmes. The global sense of "peer" support can and should encompass all members of the harm reduction community, including users and former users, street workers, government agencies, health care workers, policy makers, law enforcement agencies, drug manufactures, and the business community.
