This Recovery Science and Harm Reduction Reading Group will be held as a virtual event. We hope to maintain the great conversation seen at previous meetings.

We are an interdisciplinary reading group that meets to discuss a recent journal article on a topic related to recovery science and/or harm reduction. We will meet the third Thursday of each month from 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Open to everyone: people in recovery/people who use drugs, peer recovery specialists, researchers, clinicians, students, and other community members.

For more information or access to the current reading, contact brendan_jacka@brown.edu.

Organized by RICARES (https://www.ricares.org/) and Brown University School of Public Health (https://www.brown.edu/academics/public-health/)
