I 💕 harm reduction

A CBC Article directed me to Brave and I’m so happy to find this harm reduction resource.

If you’re ever using outside of a safe use site please use this app.

We recently lost a family member who was using cocaine with a friend at home.

Impaired and in fear of repercussions it took 45 minutes to make the decision to call for help.

With less stigma and a focus on harm reduction 3 kids, our family, and the community could be in a better place now.

incredible, super private.

an incredible private way to prevent overdose. what sets it apart from others is that no info is revealed to the volunteers unless there is an emergency.

This world is changing

God how I wish this had existed 20 years ago when I was using street drugs. Thank you everyone who created and supports this app for your wonderful work.

Wonderful tool & supporters

This is a life changer! The app is very easy to use and lets you create a rescue plan in case of emergency. The supporters I’ve had so far are amazing! Not judgmental whatsoever and made me feel at ease. This app makes me feel much more safe. There’s absolutely no reason to not use this, so give it a try. I promise you won’t regret it!!
