The Substance Use Disorder Interest Group in partnership with Region One’s Insights Webinar Series, is hosting a webinar on Harm
Reduction in Action: Language as Harm Reduction on October 31st from 2pm-3pm EST. This webinar will focus on language as the first step to a positive interaction and the importance of person-centered language as a gateway into harm reduction
practices and techniques and a way to build trust with people who use drugs.
The NNLM Reading Club is also focusing on Addiction and Recovery for the month of October. Check of the Reading
Club | NNLM page to see their recommended books and supplemental materials.
Additionally, NNLM’s Substance Use Disorder Guide is
a collection of trusted, high quality resources on substance use from the National Library of Medicine, other government agencies and non-profit groups. The guide is broken down by audience and includes specific resources for general audiences, libraries,
educators, community-based organizations, public health, and resources by age and population. The guide also includes recordings of SUD focused webinars that have been sponsored by the NNLM.
