Harm Reduction
Empowering Health, Safety, and Community Care
We provide non-judgmental, evidence-based harm reduction services
to support people who use drugs in our community.
What is Harm Reduction?
Harm Reduction is a set of practical strategies aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. We prioritize compassion, respect, and individual autonomy to meet people where they are at in their journey. Our services focus on minimizing risks while maximizing wellbeing, with or without abstinence.
- Reducing the spread of HIV and Hepatitis C
-Preventing overdoses and drug-related fatalities
