People Who Use Drugs & Alcohol
We know managing drug and alcohol use and reducing the harm that substances can cause is easier with support. Our programs are non-shaming and judgement-free, connecting you with counselors, health educators and volunteers who are experts in harm reduction.
Whether you want to end your substance use or learn ways to better manage it, we can help with substance use counseling, mindfulness and wellness services, one-on-one support and harm reduction supplies.
