Our Harm Reduction Services are designed to support youth ages 11-24 and community members by reducing the potential harms associated with substance use and related health risks. We take a non-judgemental, person-centred approach, meeting people where they are and supporting their wellbeing, safety, and informed decision-making. Services also include sexual health education and resources, supporting overall health and prevention in the community.

Our Harm Reduction Coordinator works alongside youth, families, schools, and community partners to provide practical tools, education, and resources that promote safer practices and increased awareness.
