4. Benzodiazepines - Ways to reduce harms (2024)

This job-aid provides key information about benzodiazepines alongside an interactive activity designed to increase knowledge of specific harm reduction strategies in order to minimise the risk of harm to self or others, including preventing overdose. 

The tool accepts that some people may continue to use benzodiazepines in a problematic way and potentially experience related harms. Offering harm reduction advice can be especially useful for people who are not presently considering making changes to their benzodiazepine use.
