<h2 style="text-align: center;">Guelph/Wellington Van Team</h2>

Sanguen launched the Guelph Community Health Van in 2016 to provide mobile, low-barrier, outreach to folks in the Guelph community. The Health Van is staffed by an interdisciplinary and multi-agency team made up of a Harm Reduction coordinator, Peer Support Coordinator, Registered Nurse, Social Support Coordinator, Peer workers, and a Harm Reduction Nurse. The van connects community members with harm reduction supplies, such as new drug gear, needle exchange, safer sex supplies, naloxone training and distribution, food, clothing hygiene items and general education about safer drug use and how to use equipment in different and safe ways.
 
In addition, people can receive nursing supports (such as wound care, vaccines, HIV, Hep C and STBBI testing, etc) as well as peer and social supports. Our Peer Support program supports the development of our social media content, medical infographics, and posters, and fosters connection and community in spaces where there is often stigma, barriers and isolation.

In 2021, the Guelph Community Health Van expanded its programming to Wellington County through a grant from Health Canada. We now visit seven rural communities, as well as multiple locations in the  Guelph downtown core.  We are fortunate to have a number of great partners on our Van including ARCH, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, Legal Aide, and the Family Midwifery Care CAMP Team.

Many of the items on the van have been generously donated by individuals in our community- and we are so grateful for their help! We are always looking for new potential donors. To learn more about us, or how you can support our program, please contact the Van Team Lead. Or check out our social media pages for up to date information on Van Schedules, posters, in need donation items, events and more!
