Cochise Harm Reduction
Cochise Harm Reduction is a local, grassroots mutual-aid based harm reduction organization that works to increase access to healthcare and social services for unhoused individuals + people who use drugs in Cochise County, Arizona.
We offer free harm reduction supplies, education, and legal advocacy. We aim to decrease overdose deaths, the spread of infectious disease, and stigma; while increasing employment, access to harm reduction services, and community care. Currently, we operate regular delivery and outreach routes in Sierra Vista, Douglas, Bisbee, and Benson.
A few words from our amazing participants
I believe it’s very good to know there’s people out there that really care and help us drug users.
Wonderful personalities willing to help and providing lots of necessities It is hard for homeless/unoccupied individuals to enjoy.
I just would like to thank Carlos and Vanessa and Harm Reduction as a whole for their time and the services that are provided.
I love the resources and the people are wonderful. Can’t wait to see them and have something to look forward to.
CHR has helped me a lot. It has changed the way I live today.
Having access to these supplies is literally lifesaving. Thank you Lu and CHR.
Louise provides service that nowhere else does. Many people are dependent upon her and her wonderful staff.
This org provides amazing services for people who otherwise are deemed by society as outcasts or undesirable. Keep on doing this!
Thank you for all the help you have given me. You have helped me and my friends stay alive. I can’t be more grateful.
