Session 2: Harm Reduction in Live Music Settings (Substance-Use Focus) — November 12 at 1PM ET

Live music spaces are vibrant, high-energy environments, but they can also be sites where substance use is present and safety concerns emerge. This workshop explores how industry stakeholders can take a proactive role in supporting harm reduction practices. We’ll cover practical strategies for reducing risks, fostering safer environments, and responding effectively when issues arise. Participants will leave with tools to strengthen their duty of care, build trust with, and support a healthier music community.
