harm reduction

reducing the risk of harm or death for people who use drugs

the project.ME Street Outreach team goes into communities in Allen County each day of the week to meet people right where they're at. project.ME distributes Naloxone to aid in the prevention of fatal opioid overdose, provides fentanyl, xylazine, and benzodiazepine test strips to test for contamination of other drugs, and create and offer safe use kits to promote the health and safety of people who use drugs and the community, as a whole.

Street Outreach Team

meeting people exactly where they're at

nearly every day of the week, the project.ME street outreach team rotates visits to all Allen County communities with priority on the areas in the community that have the highest documented rates of overdose.

in addition to providing lifesaving Naloxone and harm reduction tools, the street outreach team offers snacks, water, wound care kits, safe sex kits, warming/cooling & hygiene items, and connection to relevant community resources out of their black bookbags.

the street outreach team also aids in the connection to consistent, ongoing support through project.ME's no-barrier peer support program, if desired.
