The Southern Syringe Services Program (SSP) Institute

NASTAD

The Southern SSP Institute will convene on March 3-4, 2021 to address issues related to drug use/overdose and reducing associated harms.

The Southern Syringe Services Program (SSP) Institute aims to bring together health department staff, community-based groups, content experts, national stakeholders, and state and local service providers who work on issues related to the drug use/overdose crisis and reducing associated harms in their respective jurisdictions and communities. The Southern SSP Institute will be held virtually and occur on the afternoons of Wednesday, March 3rd and Thursday, March 4th, 2021 from 12:00-5:00PM (EST). Health department staff, SSPs/harm reduction programs, and other community-based organizations and local service providers in southern states are encouraged to attend.We will discuss challenges, successes, and priorities for creating and sustaining effective programs for, and creating relationships with, people who use drugs through innovative partnerships and collaborations. Topics include: developing partnerships with diverse stakeholders to support SSPs; providing harm reduction services during the COVID-19 pandemic; sex worker health; data collection and analysis; trauma-informed approaches in harm reduction services; anti-racism in harm reduction; SSP best practices; and an overview of the policy and legal landscape of SSPs in the South. NASTAD is a leading non-partisan non-profit association that represents public health officials who administer HIV and hepatitis programs in the U.S. and around the world. Our singular mission is to end the intersecting epidemics of HIV, viral hepatitis, and related conditions. We do this work by strengthening domestic and global governmental public health through advocacy, capacity building, and social justice.
