Starting this summer, UVic will be home to a new h Starting this summer, UVic will be home to a new harm reduction club — @uvicharmreduction . According to its founders Sydney Elarid and Erin Franz, the club aims to bring awareness to the overdose crisis and reduce stigma around drug use. “There’s a lot of myths around harm reduction and a lot of misconceptions,” Franz told the Martlet. “All the stigma is only further contributing to the harm and it motivated me to want to debunk some of that and actually create some awareness so that people can be a bit more educated.” As fifth year Psychology students, Elarid and Franz say the idea to start the club came from learning about the principles of harm reduction in their classes as well as online during their spare time. It very quickly became a passion project. Full story on our website in the lifestyle section. Link in bio!
