EuroHRN II: Recommendations on deaths associated with drugs and overdose

The EuroHRN was founded in 2010 by ten organisations with common interests regarding Harm Reduction advocacy in Europe. Since 2012, APDES is part of a new project promoted by EuroHRN – EuroHRN II: Supporting innovative measures to address the reduction of drug related harm in Europe. This project was developed in order to:

• Identify and develop new approaches in harm reduction, in order to reduce the number of deaths associated with drug use, namely concerning polydrug use and non-opioid substances users;
• Promote the sharing of cooperation practices between the authorities and civil society (at a local/regional level) through  prevention, education, harm reduction and law application public services – in coordination with volunteer organisations and civil society service providers.
