Tobacco Harm Reduction Training

In the context of the first community initiative in Portugal on tobacco harm reduction, GAT is promoting a training to share knowledge and strategies to be implemented in tobacco use, in a harm reduction approach.

The training is aimed at professionals, activists and peers who work with people who use drugs and/or people experiencing homelessness, equipping them with innovative approaches for people who use tobacco, as well as discussing the results of the first community initiative in Portugal involving people who use drugs and people in Housing First programs, such as GAT Housing First.

This initiative takes place on July 3, between 10am and 1pm, at the Mouraria Innovation Center. Participation is free and registration is limited. Sign up here.
