Harm Reduction Circle: A Review from the Organizers of Same Same But Different

Harm Reduction Circle has been a valuable partner to Same Same But Different for two years in a row, providing essential harm reduction and ADA support services at our music and arts festival.

Their staff is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They work tirelessly to ensure that all attendees feel safe and supported.

We were particularly impressed with Harm Reduction Circle's ADA support services. They worked closely with us to ensure that our festival was accessible to all attendees, regardless of their abilities.

For example, they provided accessible transportation to and from the festival, as well as accessible viewing areas and restrooms. They also had a team of dedicated staff members who were available to assist attendees with any accessibility needs they had.

Harm Reduction Circle's services played a vital role in making Same Same But Different a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees. We are grateful for their partnership and support.

I have had the opportunity to volunteer at a variety of different events, including music festivals, raves, and nightclubs. At each event, I have seen firsthand how Harm Reduction Circle's services can make a real difference in people's lives.

For example, at one event, I helped a person who had overdosed on fentanyl. I was able to administer naloxone and revive the person. I was also able to provide them with support and information about how to stay safe in the future.

At another event, I met a person who was struggling with addiction. They were hesitant to talk about their struggles at first, but I was able to create a safe and supportive space for them to open up. I also helped them connect with resources that could provide them with ongoing support.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to volunteer with Harm Reduction Circle. It is an incredibly rewarding experience to be able to make a real difference in people's lives.
