Essential. Effective. Human.

Essential. Effective. Human. January 2022. Images of New Jersey's frontline harm reductionists who work to prevent fatal overdoses, communicable disease, and other preventable harms among people who use drugs. More than 100,000 people died from overdose in 2022, eclipsing fatalities from firearms and automobile accidents —combined. This image was shot as part of a larger statewide campaign to reinforce the critical and lifesaving role that harm reduction plays in a public health centered approach to addressing the the crisis of overdose deaths in New Jersey. Harm reduction is an approach to drug use that can take many forms, from materials such as fentanyl test strips or sterile syringes, to health services like medications or counseling, to supportive services such as housing and supervised consumption spaces.
