Hi, all,

The English-language session on healing-centered harm reduction with Reframe Health and Justice will be rescheduled from this Wednesday, June 25, to Wednesday, July 23, 1-3pm ET/10am-12pm PT. If you have already registered for the English-language session, you should be receiving updated calendar information. The Spanish-language session will still be held July 17, 2-4pm ET/11am-1pm PT.

Please see information below and contact Reframe Health and Justice or NASTAD with any questions.

Thank you!

Healing-centered harm reduction (HCHR) is a set of practical strategies and a movement that addresses the harms perpetuated by an unjust society through increased accountability, community mobilization, and the redistribution of resources. It is a continuum between surviving and thriving, between harm reduction and healing.

Join Reframe Health and Justice (RHJ) on Wednesday, July 23rd from 1:00 to 3:00 PM EST / 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST to learn how to leverage healing-centered harm reduction to build organizations that practice equity in policies, practices, and culture. In this session, RHJ will facilitate a webinar on translating HCHR principles into practice -- strengthening the capacity of our movements to address harm, prioritize liberation, and value connection. Webinar participants will gain knowledge of the HCHR principles and learn practical strategies for applying them. Participants will also receive a handout and a link to digital resources to support their future adaptations of the principles. Register below to help create a movement where organizations are generous with their resources, accountable to their communities, and practiced in challenging injustice.

Register here for the free English version<https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FroFK1X3SQGs-4_8VAtryQ#/registration>. This webinar has been rescheduled from Wednesday June 25th to Wednesday July 23rd. The Spanish version will still be held on July 17th 2:00-4:00 PM EST/ 11:00 - 1:00 PM PST.

Reframe Health and Justice (RHJ) is a collective of queer consultants of color dedicated to supporting organizations with heart in developing practices of care and collaboration. Guided by the principles of Healing-Centered Harm Reduction, we help foster and further harm reduction programming, redistribute power and resources, and create access to grief support and community care models. Since our inception in early 2018, RHJ has developed and stewarded two healing justice-oriented community-care models to support marginalized movement workers and frontline staff in navigating the challenges inherent in vital body autonomy movement work.

Good Afternoon,

Please find information and registration links below for an upcoming webinar series hosted by NASTAD and facilitated by Monique Tula and Emma Roberts. The 4 sessions in the series will be held on July 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th. Participants can register for the first session, which will be open to all sectors, and from there, you can register for one of three sector-specific sessions tailored for those in community-based organizations, government agencies, and national advocacy or capacity-building roles (Registration for the first session will be capped at 100 participants, while registration for the sector-specific sessions will be capped at 50 participants):
Circles of Resilience: Mind + Body Tools for Public Health Practitioners in a Time of Uncertainty
Reconnect. Regulate. Restore.
In a time when public health is increasingly misunderstood, underfunded, and politicized, practitioners need more than strategy—they need restoration. Circles of Resilience is a virtual series designed to support people working in mental health, infectious disease, and overdose prevention to reclaim emotional clarity, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with purpose.
The series begins with a foundational session open to all sectors, introducing somatic and narrative tools that help interrupt burnout patterns and build internal regulation. From there, participants join one of three sector-specific sessions tailored for those in community-based organizations, government agencies, and national advocacy or capacity-building roles. Each session offers practical techniques rooted in the real-world pressures participants face, supporting them to lead with presence, relational power, and strategic clarity.
Session One - Rewiring for Resilience: Surviving Isn’t the Goal
July 7th 2pm-3:30pm ET - Register Here<https://nastad.zoom.us/meeting/register/jeFoK7hyS-Cte3dGC6eQgA>
For all public health professionals
Lay the foundation for nervous system literacy and story-based tools that shift your internal narrative. Learn to spot how systemic stress reshapes your responses—and how to reclaim your clarity in real time.
Session Two - Resilient Together: CBOs on the Frontlines
July 14th 2pm-3:30pm ET - Register Here<https://nastad.zoom.us/meeting/register/MvNs9Zu5QNalrTUGz247Vw>
For frontline workers, managers, and leaders in community-based organizations
Explore how working in high-stress environments increases vulnerability to burnout and how it impacts your nervous system and relationships. Practice real-time somatic tools that help you stay grounded while navigating overdose response, funding fatigue, and community grief.
Session Three - Systems, Stories, and Self: Government Sector Resilience
July 21st 2pm-3:30pm ET - Register Here<https://nastad.zoom.us/meeting/register/OWdGVTEURDWWhy28N4m8cQ>
For government staff, bureaucrats, and program funders
Identify and reframe internalized narratives around control and urgency. Practice regulating your nervous system in policy-making moments and anchoring decisions in emotional presence.
Session Four - Holding it All: National Advocates & Capacity Builders
July 28th 2pm-3:30pm ET - Register Here<https://nastad.zoom.us/meeting/register/J74i0yLeSJaa4zdGvsDVPw>
For staff at national organizations offering training, funding, or TA
Reconnect with joy and authenticity in roles often dominated by output and overextension. Build a personal resilience plan and learn how to model these tools within your technical assistance and advocacy efforts.
Circles of Resilience is more than professional development—it’s a space to pause, reflect, and replenish. Join a community of peers across sectors as we reclaim leadership rooted in humanity, presence, and collective care.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to:
· Describe the clinical basics of prescribing PEP
· Describe the clinical basics of prescribing PrEP

About the HIVPCP Program
The HealthHIV HIV Prevention Certified Provider™ Certification Program is an online, self-paced CME/CPE accredited certification program composed of 60-minute modules in HIV prevention detailing the pertinent clinical and practice information that clinicians need to effectively employ HIV prevention interventions.
Each module is equivalent to 1.0 credit/contact hour (CME, MOC, NCPD, CPE, AAPA, ASWB). You can earn up to 8.0 credits/contact hours at no cost for completion of the certification program.

Upon completion of all seven modules, participants earn a certification recognizing their designation as an HIV Prevention Certified Provider™ (HIVPCP) and receive a listing in the national online directory alongside thousands of other HIV Prevention Certified Providers.
Pharmacists who complete all seven modules of the HIVPCP program plus the additional “Pharmacy-Based HIV Prevention and PrEP” module, are eligible to receive the HIVPCPRX certification.
If you were HIVPCP certified between April 1, 2024 and April 1, 2025 – you only need to complete Module 7 of the current year to fulfill the updated knowledge gap requirement and maintain your HIVPCP certification. You will need to confirm your information (in the “Maintenance of Certification” section) to receive your 2025 certification.
