Public interest organizations, such as health agencies, face specific social problems. These adeptly take a practical and focused approach by adopting <i>harm reduction</i> policies. This is recognized as an important principle that has been proven to effectively guide programs and policies toward efficient well-being solutions. Principles of harm reduction promote autonomy, charity, beneficence, and social justice to advance equity democratically by providing accessible care to all.
