Toward a Harm Reduction Approach in Survivor Advocacy
Publisher(s):Excerpt: "Redefined in terms of domestic violence, harm reduction is a set of practical strategies that reduce negative consequences of certain survival and coping mechanisms survivors use. It believes in creating a larger pool of options survivors can choose from, rather than narrowing them down through paternalistic guidance.
