Care in Action: A Harm Reduction Gathering
Community, Workshops
Thursday, May 14, 2026
6pm – 7:30pm
Join us for an evening dedicated to mutual aid and public health as we explore the vital role of harm reduction in our community. This gathering serves as a toolkit for collective safety, offering attendees practical resources and compassionate strategies to support our neighbors.
We are proud to host this event in collaboration with the Detroit Health Department, who will be providing essential resources and expertise. To ensure we approach this work with intention and presence, the session will begin with a grounding exercise led by The Vision Detroit, centering our bodies and minds for this communal work.
About Community Cares
Our Community Care program delivers rapid-response workshops and practical training rooted directly in the evolving needs of our city. By prioritizing the holistic well-being of our neighbors, this series transforms the museum into a living, breathing site of collective care—a place where art and advocacy meet. Through this work, we reaffirm our commitment to being a community-led space that is not only “of the people,” but actively shaped by them.
MOCAD’s Community Care Programming is made possible through the support of the Gilbert Family Foundation, Michigan State University Federal Credit Union, Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, and Teiger Foundation.
