ANKORS Nelson - Street College

Peer education on real-life harm reduction. Overdose prevention, vein care, safer meth use, naloxone, and emotional health and well-being.

Harm Reduction knowledge has always been something that comes first and foremost from the people it most impacts. People deserve harm reduction information in safer, confidential spaces in a non-judgmental manner. People who need this information the most might have the most difficulty obtaining it: especially due to the stigma around substance use, mental illness, sexual orientation, gender identity, race and ethnicity, and/or other social barriers.

We offer:

• Provide the real-life, responsive harm reduction information people need in a private, safer space: safer injection training, supplies and how to use them, self-advocacy, and so much more.
• A weekly Safer Meth Use Drop-in on Tuesdays specifically for people who use methamphetamine and are trying to decrease their risks of BBIs and negative physical or emotional side-effects.

ANKORS Nelson - Street College is open Monday Thursday: 9:30 am 12:00 pm & 1:00 pm 4:30 pm.
