Programs

Queer Point Syringe Service Program

Queer Point Syringe Service Program offers comprehensive harm reduction services, including overdose prevention training and naloxone distribution at our center as well as mobile. We provide safe use supplies, and educational workshops on  substance use and disposal practices. Mobile units and outreach teams distribute supplies and offer HIV/HCV testing and wound care services, ensuring access for remote and marginalized communities.

Nearly 30 years of research has shown that comprehensive SSPs are safe, effective, and cost-saving, do not increase illegal drug use or crime, and play an important role in reducing the transmission of viral hepatitis, HIV and other infections
