Peer-Led Drug Harm Reduction Programme

The service will be a community-based, harm reduction service that will complement existing drug and alcohol treatment, street outreach, pharmacy and public health provision by providing low-threshold, peer-led engagement and harm reduction support and advice. This will include provision of needles and safer injecting equipment, training and provision of naloxone, safer drug use information and brief intervention, blood-borne virus prevention information and signposting to further drug and alcohol, physical, mental health and housing support.

The service, for adult Camden residents will primarily be focused on people experiencing homelessness, those living in hostels or supported accommodation, those not engaged in structured treatment services and women, particularly those facing multiple disadvantage.
