Harm Reduction Care & Connection Day Update

At our September gathering, we had the honor of connecting with 23 relatives. Together, we shared care, laughter, snacks, clothing—and most importantly—a strong sense of belonging. 🌿

Here’s what came from the day:
✨ 4 relatives began the process of Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT)—a safe, effective path toward recovery and wellness
✨ 2 relatives scheduled women’s health check-ups, taking proactive steps toward early detection and prevention
✨ 4 relatives expressed interest in treatment services to support their healing journey
✨ 2 relatives received STI testing for peace of mind and prevention
✨ And every single person received one-on-one care and connection—free from judgment or stigma

On top of these meaningful moments, our team also supported scheduled and walk-in appointments throughout the day. A huge shoutout to our small but mighty crew—our harm reduction all-stars—for holding it down with heart, skill, and compassion. 💪💜

Days like this remind us: harm reduction is about meeting people where they are, honoring their dignity, and walking alongside them in all stages of their journey. We’re grateful to continue showing up with love, care, and connection. 🌿

💜 A gentle look at what happens behind the scenes

Watching this can help us understand, support, and care for one another. These episodes open a window into what our relatives are facing — this is what our team sees on the frontlines in street outreach, and why we show up with care, compassion, and love for our relatives.

Two episodes of Trafficked give a perspective on the challenges people navigate every day:
📺 Season 5, Episode 3 — “The Trauq: Dope Underground”
📺 Season 5, Episode 7 — “The Great American Rehab Scam” (highlighting challenges in Native communities)

They show why we take a non-judgmental approach, showing up for everyone — whether preparing to start MAT services (medication-assisted treatment to support recovery), doing daily check-ins, providing clean supplies, or entering treatment.

Watch on Hulu to learn more and see why community care and support matter.

🌿 Community Care, No Judgment 🌿
We know many of our relatives are working, parenting, showing up every day — and sometimes also using substances. No shame, no stigma.

But here’s the truth: most street drugs right now are laced with fentanyl or xylazine (also called “tranq”). That means even if you think you know what you’re buying, it’s risky.

Testing is simple — and it can save a life. Come see us at Yakama Nation Public Community Health. No judgment, just care. We can show you — without judgment — how to test your product, talk through safer use, and make sure you leave with harm reduction supplies that help keep you safe.

💜 You don’t have to do this alone. Stop by, ask to talk with us, and we’ll walk with you.

Prevention Is Every Day

For some, Overdose Awareness Month is a day to walk, to gather, to wear purple.
For us, it’s every morning we pack kits. Every time we hand Narcan to a new set of hands. Every time we say, “I’m glad you’re here.”

We love the big events — they shine bright. But our light is steady, all year long.

As August comes to a close, we carry the momentum forward with a community call to action: carry Narcan and know how to use it, attend or schedule a training, and talk with your youth, relatives, and loved ones about safe use and the services available. Share what you learn, check in on each other often, and help normalize these conversations.

To schedule a Narcan training, contact:

Have you heard of the Native & Strong Lifeline?
The Native & Strong Lifeline—a resource for Indigenous people in Washington—is here to support our community 24/7, free, and confidential.

💛 What’s new: There’s an update to how you can reach them!

Connect with a Native counselor:
📞 Call: Dial 988, then press 4
💬 Text: Send N8V to 988
🌐 Chat: Visit https://nativelifeline.org/
and select “All Native people in Washington State”

Who can use it:
Anyone in Washington who identifies as Native. You don’t have to be in crisis—call, text, or chat if you’re feeling stressed, grieving, or worried about a loved one.

Why it matters:
✨ Su***de rates among Indigenous people in WA are 34% higher than other groups
✨ Native counselors bring cultural understanding to these conversations
✨ Most calls are supported safely without involving 911

A gentle reminder:
Don’t sit in silence. Healing happens when we express what we are carrying. Connecting with trained professionals can guide you through tough emotions and support your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

💛 Please share this with family, friends, and community members so more relatives know support is here.

Harm Reduction is More Than Just Narcan.
It's body wipes, feminine hygiene kits, snaggin kits, dental kits, sage, rose water, cold water, and popsicles on a hot day.

It's friendly staff who greet you with dignity, build real relationships, and walk alongside you, no judgment, just care.

This is daily overdose prevention.

Every time someone comes in for resources, we talk about safe use, wound care, treatment options, and MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment) a combination of medications and counseling that supports people in recovery from opioid use.

We meet our relatives where they’re at, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and walk with them through it all. Because harm reduction is not a moment. It’s a movement rooted in compassion, connection, and community.

From Narcan trainings to clinic visits and community events, our shelves are officially ready for whatever comes next. 🙌🏽

Our Snaggin’ Kits definitely took the top spot for “most packed.” Y’all keep those flying off the shelves.👏🏽🔥

Big shoutout to our team for knocking it out today. Organizing queens, inventory champs, and label lovers unite! Now we’re locked, loaded, and looking forward to seeing you soon!🫶🏾👀
