Harm Reduction & Wound Care Training
April 18 | 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Free Admission
709 N Howard St, Baltimore, MD, 21201
Join Making Space Bmore and the Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition (BHRC) for a free, community-centered Harm Reduction & Wound Care Training. This event is presented as part of the Pharmaco/Liberation exhibition series curated by Juan T. Garcia.
Pharmaco/Liberation is a group exhibition examining healthcare through clinical materials like pills, implants, and diagnostic imaging. The show treats the body as a site of access, authority, and resistance. This training puts those themes into action, offering practical, nonjudgmental skills to support community health and safety.
About the Training
Led by BHRC, this session will cover essential, life-saving techniques. You will learn:
Overdose prevention and how to respond, including how to use naloxone (Narcan)
Basic wound care principles to prevent infection and promote healing
The core principles of harm reduction as a framework for justice
With the rise of substances like fentanyl and xylazine in the local drug supply, the need for accessible wound care and overdose prevention has become even more critical. This training is designed to empower community members with the knowledge and tools to act with compassion and confidence.
No prior medical experience is needed. All supplies will be provided.
We cannot wait to gather with you.
