Our drug safety programs are centred around harm reduction and prevention, providing access to education, training and pathways into programs, services and facilities for effective support. Each one of our drug safety programs is linked back to other support services and programs within our holistic approach to client-centred care.
Operating discreetly, each member of our team honours an individual’s right to feel safe and secure when reaching out to any one of our harm prevention programs, striving to reach as many people who require drug safety services.
