OUTREACH SERVICES
Harm reduction is a client-centered approach that aims to lessen the impact of addiction and substance use.
Harm reduction services provide strategies for those with addictions to minimize harm and improve their overall health.
Naloxone Training
A Naloxone kit is a crucial tool that can effectively stop an overdose in its tracks. We invite you to book a free training session where you will learn how to properly use a Naloxone kit, and you can also pick up free kits at our office. By equipping yourself with this knowledge, you have the power to save a life when it matters most. Let’s work together to foster a safer community for everyone.
Safe Distribution
With a judgment-free approach, you can obtain sterile harm reduction supplies that prioritize your safety. We provide complimentary sharps and needle disposal containers, along with take-home fentanyl test strips to keep you informed.
Furthermore, we offer safer supplies for injection, sex, and inhalation. Your safety and comfort are our main concerns, and we are here to support you at every turn.
Outdoor Equipment
Everyone deserves access to housing, but until we reach that goal, having quality gear can significantly improve the lives of community members without a home. Providing essential items like tents and outdoor clothing helps create a safer and more comfortable environment.
By supporting those in need, we can foster a sense of dignity and hope. Together, we can work towards a brighter future for all.
Referral Support
We offer support through outreach referrals, helping you with sheltering, navigating financial resources, and accessing emergency food.
Furthermore, we provide gas and pet gift cards, along with bus tickets for travel from Lake Country to Kelowna or Vernon. Our aim is to ensure you have the necessary resources during difficult times.
