Negotiating the tensions of applying a perinatal harm reduction approach: Service providers' perspectives
Results highlight a need to strengthen academic formation and ongoing interdisciplinary/interagency development for professionals who might interface with PPPWUS to gain a shared understanding of the harm reduction philosophy. Further, results support the importance for health and social services system to prioritize greater capacity, accessibility, and collaboration between services to support PPPWUS, mobilize their strengths, and reduce harms for families.
