Academy of Perinatal Harm Reduction
About
We are devoted to building community of parenting and pregnant people who use drugs and parenting and pregnant people with lived experience of drug use. In order do this effectively, we have chosen to be intentional as we build our organization and our community.
At APHR there is no differentiation between "peers" and "staff." We approach our work through lenses of equity and inclusion to ensure that we stop perpetuating the systems of structural violence and gatekeeping that have tried to limit us. We create and curate educational content, products (graphic design), presentations, and trainings. The information and resources that we furnish folx who come to us are informed and created by our stakeholders and community. Our programs are developed by us, for us.

We offer custom trainings for anyone who works with pregnant people, parents, families, babies, or children; anyone who is parenting, pregnant, or cares for someone who is; and anyone who uses drugs, anyone who's used drugs in the past, anyone who might use drugs in the future. Our events focus on your specific needs and populations. We can add extras such as needs assessments, pre- and post-tests, learning activities, custom designed materials such as pamphlets, posters, social media content, policies, client interaction scripts, or whatever else you would find useful. In-person and virtual events can be recorded and re-used within your organization as many times as you like.
