About this service
Problem solving with people whove been there. Our peer health navigators are people with personal experience with substance use, addiction, HIV+, homelessness, poverty, and trauma.
It's important to have people who've been there: who can show real empathy and relate to what you're going through in a peer-to-peer setting.
Having real, no judgement conversations about substances reduces stigma, so people won't feel ashamed and alone.
This is why we offer:
- Flexible, in the moment problem solving and support to drug users and people experiencing poverty, homelessness, addictions, and trauma.
- Support after an overdose and overdose prevention information.
- Accompaniment to important appointments, court appearances, or the emergency room.
- Access or referrals to harm reduction supplies and needle exchange.
When is it open?
