Youth, women, Native Hawaiians, and sexual minorities are impacted in unique ways. To address these tough social issues, a collaboration of service providers, community organizations, and concerned citizens will convene to discuss ways of developing more holistic and effective interventions in the context of harm reduction practice. A Hawai‘i oriented one-day interactive conference is planned for November 6, 2009 in Honolulu to discuss best practices, evidence-based programs, and cutting edge ideas to tackle these issues in culturally-appropriate and more effective ways. The program will tap into the expertise of practitioners in Hawai‘i who cultivate a non-judgmental, inclusive and incrementalist approach. We are looking for: Co-Sponsors, funders, donors of in-kind services; and planning committee members.
