About Bridge Erie to Harm Reduction
Bridge Erie to Harm Reduction is a new learning collaborative designed to meet the evolving challenges of the drug and opioid epidemics. Replacing the Erie County Overdose Prevention Task Force after nearly a decade of service, this initiative represents a renewed commitment to saving lives and supporting communities.
This new model for collaboration and coordination will be driven by local and national data and trends. Bridge Erie to Harm Reduction will focus on reducing overdose risk, connecting people who use drugs to care, expanding public education, and building infrastructure across the continuum of prevention, treatment, and recovery. The program emphasizes equity and the inclusion of voices with lived and living experience.
