History

HRShare is Harm Reductionist Media's free online library for harm reduction education. HRShare was introduced by Anami Dass during an ECHO presentation in April 2022.

HRShare en Español was created by partnering with Nancy Rocha, who translated HRShare's materials into Spanish in 2023. The Spanish library is still developing, but as resources are translated, they are added to the collection.

HRShare & Harm Reductionist Media is in "hibernation" as of early 2024.
