Did you know that HRTC distributes over 400 harm reduction kits at our mobile sites every week? These include injectable Narcan kits, fentanyl testing kits, safer smoking kits, and safer injection kits, all carefully tailored to encourage our community members to take control of and help manage their substance use and stay as healthy as possible, safe and alive.

There are several reasons why this is an important part of our agency’s practice:

1 .  Safer use kits help prevent both overdoses and the transmission of HIV, Hep-C and Covid.

2 .  Per the CDC, community members who seek out harm reduction materials are 5 times more likely to eventually consider counseling and treatment to help manage their substance use.

3 .  Having harm reduction supplies at our mobile sites is a key tool in helping our therapists engage in conversations with our community members about their relationship with substance use.

In order to support this critical aspect of our outreach efforts, HRTC will be hosting quarterly volunteer events at our drop in center at 21 Merlin Street. We will be making a variety of harm reduction kits for use in our community programs.
