Southside Harm Reduction Services (SHRS)

Hey yall! We wanted to share this resource with everyone. 🌟 The SSP Calendar 🌟 This calendar shares information for 11 Syringe Exchange Programs in the state of MN (including ours!). The calendar shares information such as hours, location, and services, do they provide syringes, works, naloxone, vaccines, and more! 🌟 The calendar is in our link tree and our website! *this resource is updated monthly, so please keep an eye for changes * 💚 This is a great resource in case we miss you on deliveries. 💚 This is a great resource to see who is close to you if you want more supplies or support. 💚 This is great to share in your communities. 💚 This is GREAT to print off and hand out at your place of work/community space! The more we know 🌟 🌈 💫

rescue breathing prevents brain damage & can keep someone experiencing an opioid overdose alive, even without naloxone. 1) clear airway & tilt head back 2) lift chin & pinch nose 3) create seal with your mouth on their mouth 3) give one breath every 5 seconds 4) success = chest raising due to rescue breath inflating lungs 🫁 #harmreductionsaveslives #rescuebreathing #overdose #rescue #nalaxone #612 #harmreductionworks #cpr

Our coalition showed up, and it mattered. 💚 @impact_mn members joined the Minnesota Naloxone Saturation Convening hosted by the Dept. of Human Services and the Office of Addiction and Recovery. A large group shared and learned about what is working, what’s changed, and what community still need when it comes to naloxone access. We are proud to be at the table - and to keep pushing for a Minnesota where no one dies from an overdose for lack of naloxone.

JOIN US FOR COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP! • Learn about harm reduction & other ways to support neighborhood safety & people who use drugs • Learn how to pick up & dispose of syringes properly • Help reduce syringe litter in our community • Have fun & connect with people in the community Our first clean-up of the year will be on Saturday April 25th from 12pm-1pm. Limited spots so please sign up ahead of time! Scan QR code or click the link in our bio to learn more and sign-up! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE !!

Member Highlight! 🥳 💕 Today we’re featuring Harm Reduction Sisters - @harmreductionsisters - who have been providing on-the-ground harm reduction services to northern Minnesota since 2019 (their 7th birthday is coming up on May 1st!). What began with the Executive Director - @suepurchase - providing syringes out of her car, has grown into a network of staff and volunteers, multiple brick-and-motor sides, a mobile unit, and a service area spanning across 12 counties. With their growth, the mission has remained the same: to make harm reduction as accessible as possible, and to fill the gaps that exist for people who use drugs. We are proud to stand alongside HRS in this coalition 💕 🔗 harmreductionsisters.org (Photo from the DPA @reformconference featuring staff from @harmreductionsisters and @southsideharmreduction )
