Pennsylvania Harm ReductionÂ
Saving Lives. Shaping Policy. Transforming Public Health in Pennsylvania for Change.
Pennsylvania families and communities are devastated by the needless loss of loved ones. Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in PA, and the state has the 4th highest rate of overdose deaths in the country.
​
Whether you’re a concerned citizen, a healthcare professional, or an advocate, your involvement matters. Together, we can save lives, challenge stigma, and create a more just and compassionate approach to drug policies in Pennsylvania.
Â
At DFYC, we believe that prevention education is the first line of defense, and risk reduction strategies are the second.Â
