Care isn’t always clinical.
Sometimes it’s presence, Sometimes it’s trust!
And sometimes it’s four paws and a wagging tail 🐾 Say Hello to Dallas! He always got loves, hugs and narcan available!!
And sometimes… it’s just a good boy making the day a little easier. 💛 We show up in every way we can.

Recent Drug Checking Results (CTHRA)
Over the past few weeks, our team has been testing substances in real time across the community.
These results highlight:
• Contamination and unexpected additives
• Variability in potency
• Increased overdose risk factors
Drug supply is unpredictable. What’s in one sample may not match the next.
Knowledge is protection.
If you use:
Test when possible
Use with someone
Carry naloxone
Go slow
We’re here to keep people informed.

In Memory of Buck 🕊️
It’s hard to put into words what Buck meant to this community.
If you knew him, you already know… he was always around. Always checking on people And Always making sure folks were good. It didn’t matter how he was feeling, he still showed up.
And he showed up right"
Always dressed sharp, clean, and put together. Pulling up in that Cadillac like it was part of who he was. When you saw Buck, you felt his presence.
But what stood out most wasn’t the fly clothes and sawg, it was the way he treated people. The way he treated each and every one of us here at CTHRA and in the community.
Buck believed in this work, but more than that, he believed in people. He wasnt there to judge. Never had an ego. He Just showed up and showed love!
He was a big part of harm reduction in a real way. Not just talking about it but living it, every day.
"We’re going to miss him for real"
/obituaries/Michael-Jeffery-Morris-Sr?obId=48129246#/obituaryInfo
If you have a moment, please take time to read his obituary and learn more about the life he lived and the family he loved.
Rest easy, Buck.
We got it from here 🤍
