The Northern Nevada Harm Reduction Alliance is a collaboration between people with lived/living experience, harm reduction, treatment, outreach, and public health practitioners and researchers. NNHRA is a nonprofit organization, and its purpose is to promote and foster respect, acceptance, and dignity for people who use drugs and sex workers by recognizing the inherent worth and value of each individual person, adding to the community essence, shifting the narrative community-wide.

The NNHRA board members come from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds. What ties us all together is our passion for loving people who use drugs and our dedication to harm reduction strategies as an approach to saving lives, fighting stigma, and empowering people to make decisions about their health and wellness.
