What is LEAHRN?

The Law Enforcement And Harm Reduction Network – LEAHRN – is a way of connecting people involved in harm reduction, particularly those working in law enforcement and public health. LEAHRN aims to help build sustainable global and local partnerships to reduce the harm associated with drug use, particularly the spread of  HIV/AIDS.

Knowledge sharing

LEAHRN is all about sharing information and experiences.  The network provides the opportunity to share best practice, success stories and case studies aimed at raising awareness of harm reduction.   

Advocacy and peer education

Through LEAHRN, experienced police and harm reduction workers located anywhere in the world can provide practical advice to peers about their experiences with harm reduction programs. By demonstrating and generating leadership, it is envisaged locally-driven approaches will be most effective in addressing the harms associated with drug use.
