Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center
Ezell Turner's Company Details
The Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center (LESHRC) is a culturally diverse community based non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS and drug-related harm among injection drug users and the community. Using a harm reduction philosophy, the center provides programs that are based on the non-judgmental acceptance of drug users, evidence-based health science, and human rights. We accomplish this goal by offering a spectrum of practical strategies, ranging from safer use to abstinence. In this supportive environment, we provide safe injection equipment as well as the latest information on HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, risk reduction strategies, and safer sex practices. Ultimately, we aim to advance individual and collective strength as well as enhance the long-term well-being of drug users and the community.
