Guides and Toolkits

We develop a range of practical toolkits, guides and other resources to support the health and well-being of people who use drugs. 

 

The Ethical Storytelling Roadmap

The Ethical Storytelling Roadmap, is a practical resource designed to support safer, more collaborative and stigma-reducing storytelling across HIV, hepatitis C and harm reduction settings. It includes:

1. A set of guiding values for ethical storytelling

2. Practical roadmap of advice from preparation through to aftercare

3. Guidance for researchers, peers and organisations working together

4. Approaches designed to reduce stigma and build community power

The Roadmap was developed following a dedicated ethical storytelling workshop at INHSU 2025 and a panel discussion at INHSU 2024. It was co-designed through hands-on activities with people who use drugs, peer advocates, community organisations, researchers and service providers from around the world.
