How we show up for our community
For more than 30 years, we've cared for our neighbors across LA County, with safer use supplies, naloxone, treatment, case management, and a door that's always open. Here's how that work takes shape.
Ways we work
For more than three decades, we've cared for our neighbors across LA County. Here's how that work takes shape.
Outreach
We don't wait for people to find us. Our teams and vans meet folks where they already are, across the county.
Advocacy
We work with our community to speak up for the rights and dignity of people who use drugs and push for policies that treat us all as worth protecting.
Education
Trainings, safety guides, and know-your-rights information that put knowledge back in the hands of our community.

Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND)
OEND gets naloxone and overdose response training to the people most likely to need it.
