St. Ann's Corner Of Harm Reduction
We meet every person where they are at. We recognize that people take risks and that change is never easy. We do not wait for people to choose to quit life-threatening behaviors. Instead, we create a safe haven where participants can consider their personal choices and begin to move toward manageable changes. All of our services are free and anonymous with no demands placed on those who need help. Many participants stay involved with SACHR for years, donating their time to our volunteer program, using our services, or dropping by to share their achievements. We offer a safe harbor, where they can return to replenish themselves. We provide non-judgmental quality access to health resources to persons for whom the social stigma attached to their illicit drug use, HIV/HCV status, poverty, race, gender identity, homelessness, or health undermines their ability to access the services they require and deserve.
