The Pennsylvania Harm Reduction Network (PAHRN) began as a collaboration between advocates who recognized the urgent need to build a state-wide grassroots organization dedicated to the promotion of harm reduction in Pennsylvania following the closure of the Pennsylvania Harm Reduction Coalition in 2021. We’ve been building relationships and are joining together with people who use drugs and the people who love and care for them, medical and public health professionals, advocates and other community leaders from across PA to save lives and end the harms caused by unjust drug policies.
