March 20, 2023 – There are a great many things a person could be doing every day, Graham continued, but never enough time to do them all. So harm reduction workers and community organizations need to be strategic about where they put their efforts. When workers feel like it’s impossible to do their jobs at their best, she said, that can contribute to burnout.
Both the researchers and the VANDU workers said that increases in funding and resources would help address this issue, as it would allow organizations to hire and train more people, and increase their ability to buy supplies. Yet government funding for harm reduction organizations remains limited, Graham noted, and what little there is may be spread across several organizations.
