~ Our Guiding Principles ~

Harm Reduction
The Society believes that harm reduction promotes and supports the health and well being of both individuals and communities. We believe that all humans have the right to comprehensive, non- judgmental services based on individual need. Through education and prevention efforts, we work to reduce the risk of harm for individuals engaged in or affected by risky behaviors.

Client centered
The Society recognizes the value and dignity of each individual. We encourage and support our clients to make healthy choices and we respect the choices that they make. We advocate with and on behalf of our clients to improve their quality of life.

Social Justice
The Society believes that all individuals deserve equity in accessibility. We collaborate with community partners and actively participate in community efforts to ensure that basic human rights are protected. We promote shared, private and public responsibility in the delivery of education and awareness activities in the community.
