harm mitigation is NOT:
shaming people into starting recovery
coercive or forced
pressuring people to take steps they’re not ready for
harm mitigation is:
paced at whatever pace works for the individual
focussed on providing information that will keep people safe while they continue to engage in “unhealthy” behaviours
sometimes a stepping stone towards recovery, but NOT ALWAYS
an option that should be available for all people, regardless of their situation
