Alberta Addicts Who Educate And Advocate Responsibility (AAWEAR) - Calgary- Grateful or Dead - Outreach

Our Peer Outreach team provide street level outreach for those dealing with substance use issues in the downtown area of Calgary. They offer support to their peers, provide information on safer drug practices and link people with a broad range of community services across the cities. Through agency partnerships we seek to remove barriers for our population and build relationships of trust. Our Peer Outreach workers are out twice a week handing out supplies to individuals living on the street.

Peer Outreach started here in 2011 and is facilitated by the AHS Safeworks Harm Reduction Team. Since its inception our peer workers have furthered their skills through courses at the University of Calgary and they have also had the opportunity to lead the Calgary Homeless Foundation's - Point in Time Homeless Count. They have now been formally acknowledged as supporting partner in the Calgary community.
