Harm reduction
People who use drugs face stigma and discrimination. This creates shame and stops people from reaching out for help when they need it. NACC supports community members who use drugs and desires to support their health and safety while using by offering respectful, nonjudgmental healthcare.

Mondays, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm, at NACC behind the building.
Includes HIV/HCV testing and distribution of safer use supplies.
Screening
