We are working on a Harm Reduction policy to be implemented within SMSU for the academic year 24/25.

Harm reduction is grounded in justice and human rights. It focuses on positive change and on working with people without judgement, coercion, discrimination, or requiring that people stop using drugs as a precondition of support.

Introducing a Harm-Reduction approach at St Mary's would mean that students who use drugs are able to access the support they need without feeling judged. This would hopefully lead to a safer campus for all students.
