The Institute's consultants are available for a fee to provide technical assistance to your group in two areas:
Program Development-Consultants can conduct needs assessment and evaluation, identify appropriate harm reduction services for your agency, and develop an implementation and service integration plan.
Curriculum Development-Consultants can develop curricula for academic courses or other professional training programs.
The trainings offered in our quarterly calendars are also available on a consultant basis for your agency. If you are interested in bringing any of the workshops from our training calendars (or other need-specific trainings) to your agency, please contact Amanda Harris, Training Coordinator, in New York at (212) 683-2334 x17 or harris@harmreduction.org for details and fees.

Training Content & Format
Curricula and Sessions: The Institute's curricula continually evolve to reflect developments in practice. We offer regularly scheduled trainings at our centers in New York, San Francisco and Oakland; trainings are also developed specific to group needs and delivered on-site. Longer training sessions usually culminate in a strategy session to develop steps that your community or agency might take toward your chosen goals. Trainers are also available to deliver conference presentations or workshops. We offer half-day (3-4 hrs) and full-day (6-7 hrs) trainings, as well as some trainings which can be tailored to a specific amount of time.
In addition to most of the trainings that appear on our quarterly calendars, the following trainings are available as Contract Trainings for your agency. Some trainings are available in Spanish upon request. In most cases we can tailor trainings to meet your needs. We can only offer CASAC credits in the state of NY for specific trainings noted below.
