About High Hopes Harm Reduction Project
About Us
Our Mission
High Hopes Harm Reduction Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to minimizing and mitigating the negative consequences of drug use. Through education, tools, and unconditional support, we aim to meet people where they are, bridging the gap and going above and beyond to reduce harm. This is a space to share our journey, showcase the services we offer, and highlight the unique approach that sets us apart in the field of harm reduction.
Our Approach
At High Hopes Harm Reduction, we believe in compassion, understanding, and evidence-based practices. Harm reduction is not about condoning or encouraging substance use—it’s about saving lives, promoting safety, and reducing stigma. Our approach includes:
-
Meeting People Where They Are: We provide support without judgment, recognizing that every person’s journey is different.
-
Education and Empowerment: We offer resources and information to help individuals make safer, more informed decisions.
-
Collaboration: By partnering with local organizations, businesses, and community members, we extend our reach and impact.​​

Our Values
-
Compassion: We believe every person deserves care and support, no matter where they are in their journey.
-
Safety First: Our priority is saving lives and reducing harm through practical, evidence-based tools and practices.
