The International Society of Psychiatric Mental Health Nurses (ISPN) and the International
Nurses Society on Addictions (IntNSA)-USA Chapter jointly recognize the need to promote
harm reduction services to reduce the burden of substance use across the world. ISPN's
mission is “to support advanced-practice psychiatric-mental health nurses in promoting
mental health care, literacy, and policy worldwide.” IntNSA's mission is “to advance
excellence in nursing care for the prevention and treatment of addictions for diverse
populations across all practice settings through advocacy, collaboration, education,
research, and policy development.” Together, ISPN and IntNSA-USA seek to make recommendations
to improve the quality of and access to harm reduction services for individuals with
substance use-related problems.
