About me: The eureka (humboldt county) harm reduction collective is a support and outreach group designed to meet users and sufferers where they are at. We deal with drug addiction, mental health,chronic pain, co-occuring disorders(drug addiction coupled with mental health issues such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression)[can you believe that drug addiction can be coupled with such things?] (sarcasm) 80% of drug users suffer from some sort of mental health issue, but generally these things do not get treated at the same time.
As far as drug addiction goes there is a spectrum of use , from abuse to abstinence, we try to meet abusers "where they are at " and try to direct them towards a safer, more managable and functional use, and if possible, abstinence from drugs. We do not talk about religion(god, higher power, bs) or politics here, but we leave this to the individuals choice. we are not a twelve step program but we are a non profit organization desugned to help, we want to have th motto of recovery through creativity but leave more options open than just creative expression, please feel free to email your thoughts, and if you want them on the blog or in our quarterly magazine just say so. we can be reached via email at HSUHRC@yahoo.com. you are the captain of youre own ship, choose carefully which waters you will sail in.
Who I'd like to meet: YOU!
