  Youth R.I.S.E: Resources. Information. Support. Education for Reducing Drug-Related Harm
Starter:   SheilaD
Date Created:  Mar 15, 2007
[view] 		Description:   Many young people use drugs at some point in their lives; the majority do so with little or no resultant harm. But many youth, lacking information, support, and resources, are at risk of...
Goals:   Youth RISE represents a youth-led initiative aiming to increase the engagement and social inclusion of young people in the policies and decisions that affect their lives, thereby both increasing the effectiveness of programmes and services, and the health outcomes of the children and youth involved. Youth RISE also recognises that primary prevention is one aspect of harm reduction that is often glossed over (since harm reduction implicitly works with current users), but it has a central and important role to play amongst young people. Young people face a wide range of specific barriers when it comes to accessing harm reduction services, advocating for harm reduction interventions or engaging with harm reduction organisations or donors at a national, regional or international level. Street children, young drug users, and young people involved in the sex trade often face extreme marginalisation and social exclusion. These are some of the areas that we will be focusing on: • Harm Reduction Knowledge – for young people and service providers • Discriminatory Policies – to reduce barriers, stigma and criminalisation • Creating effective Harm Reduction Services – relevant and accessible • Increase of Research and Evidence – on youth and harm reduction issues • Increase of Training Opportunities – for youth and service providers • Street Children and Youth – to better address their specific needs Please join us to achieve these goals and working towards better meeting the needs of young people affected by substance use and drug policies. The themes above were created during a planning meeting of 20 young people from around the world in conjunction with the 18th International Conference on Drug-Related Harm. With support from the UK Department for International Development and the International Harm Reduction Association, and in partnership with the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS and UNICEF, we are able to continue to develop this initiative beyond the planning stages.
