WHAT WE DO

A welcoming world where everyone thrives, not just survives. Here's how we work toward it every day.
HARM REDUCTION SUPPLIES
We provide the supplies people need to stay safer and healthier, including naloxone (Narcan), sterile syringes, other syringe service supplies, and more, with no judgment, no lectures, and no requirement to stop using. If you or someone you know needs supplies, we're happy to help.
CONNECTION TO CARE
Our Community Resource Navigator helps people connect to the things they need to thrive, including substance use disorder treatment, healthcare, housing, and other community resources. The navigator meets you where you are and supports you at your own pace. They are available at our fixed site during all open hours, or you can schedule an appointment here.
DISEASE PREVENTION
Protecting your health shouldn't be complicated or stigmatizing. We offer free at-home STI testing kits so you can test privately and on your own terms, along with syringe services and education that help prevent the spread of HIV, hepatitis C, and other infections in our community. Kits are available at our fixed site or via our mobile unit.
EDUCATION
To change the narrative on drugs and the people who use them, education is key. We provide education and training on overdose response and reversal, safer use techniques, and harm reduction practices.
We're available to train the staff and volunteers of your business or organization on how to respond to an overdose. Email us to set up a training or ask questions.
OUTREACH
Meeting people where they are takes a diverse and flexible approach. TCHRC has partnered with detoxes, treatment centers, jails, MAT providers, and shelters to provide education on drug user health and to make sure people have access to naloxone and other services. We also do regular ol' street outreach, walking around and talking with folks out in the community, for which there is no substitute. If you or anyone you know needs our services, we're happy to help.
DRUG USER ORGANIZING
"Nothing about us without us" has long been a rallying cry in harm reduction, and nothing we do would be nearly as effective without the expertise of people who use drugs. If you use drugs (currently, formerly, just on the weekends...) and want to fight for common-sense laws and policies, or just want to get involved in what TCHRC does, reach out. Who says drug users can't organize? Join us!
