ACTUALLY MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY’RE AT
Everybody says harm reduction is about, “meeting people where they’re at,” but how do you put that to practice? How do you connect with community members and neighbors in an impactful way? How do you build trust with a community so they can engage with our main agency? Our outreach program is fueled by questions like these because they are core frameworks within the work we do. Like the rest of our services, outreach at SACHR is built upon the wants and needs of our community first.
Our Outreach Program works across the South Bronx providing services to those that cannot reach our agency. We believe in a continuum of care so our Outreach Program provides the same services as we do indoors, offering free, non-judgmental access to information and materials that will help preserve your health and well-being. The team provides syringes, alcohol pads, and other supplies to people who inject drugs and are at risk for various infections including HIV and Hep C. No matter the weather, our team is out providing care to those who need it the most.
