In partnership with the Inner City Health Alliance and The Working Centre, Sanguen Health Centre received funding from Health Canada to address the devastating impacts of the opioid crisis in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Through this program, health practitioners prescribe legal, pharmaceutical opioids to clients to replace the illicit and toxic street supply. Safer Supply focuses on a team-based, person-centred approach within a community-based model of care. Our program offers stability for clients by providing support around a client\'s substance use and other key social determinants of health. </p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Who can participate in the program? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This program is offered to high-risk individuals who use unregulated, street-level substances and are at high risk of overdose and overdose related death. Criteria is determined once the referral form is processed. Once a referral form is accepted, individuals will meet with team members working in the Safer Supply Program to complete an Information Session and an assessment of an individual’s eligibility. In order to be eligible for this program, you must be currently residing in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What is expected of the program participants? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Each client is required to adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the program. The guidelines are reviewed during the Information Session and in the Program Agreement and include but are not limited to: </p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to attend weekly appointments with their doctor/nurse practitioner, submit weekly urine samples and pick up their medication as directed at their specified pharmacy.</li>\r\n<li>Clients will be honest with their doctor regarding drug use outside of their Safer Supply prescription. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to engage with Community Navigators, Care Facilitators and Nurses on social and health related goals. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will not sell or otherwise divert their Safer Supply medication. Diversion represents a reason for removal from the Safer Supply program. \r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>How can I submit a referral to this program for myself or another person? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Referrals can be submitted independently or by a service provider on behalf of somebody interested in the program. Submission of referrals opens on the 1st Tuesday of each month (see calendar below). Referrals can be submitted online through the referral link below or in person at 115 Water Street North, Kitchener. In person drop off is only open on the 1st Tuesday of the month between 09:00 am and 4:00 pm. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We will only be accepting 20 referrals per month at this time. Once we receive 20 referral forms the window to submit referral forms will be closed until the 1st Tuesday of the following month.

In partnership with the Inner City Health Alliance and The Working Centre, Sanguen Health Centre received funding from Health Canada to address the devastating impacts of the opioid crisis in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Through this program, health practitioners prescribe legal, pharmaceutical opioids to clients to replace the illicit and toxic street supply. Safer Supply focuses on a team-based, person-centred approach within a community-based model of care. Our program offers stability for clients by providing support around a client\'s substance use and other key social determinants of health. </p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Who can participate in the program? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This program is offered to high-risk individuals who use unregulated, street-level substances and are at high risk of overdose and overdose related death. Criteria is determined once the referral form is processed. Once a referral form is accepted, individuals will meet with team members working in the Safer Supply Program to complete an Information Session and an assessment of an individual’s eligibility. In order to be eligible for this program, you must be currently residing in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What is expected of the program participants? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Each client is required to adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the program. The guidelines are reviewed during the Information Session and in the Program Agreement and include but are not limited to: </p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to attend weekly appointments with their doctor/nurse practitioner, submit weekly urine samples and pick up their medication as directed at their specified pharmacy.</li>\r\n<li>Clients will be honest with their doctor regarding drug use outside of their Safer Supply prescription. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to engage with Community Navigators, Care Facilitators and Nurses on social and health related goals. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will not sell or otherwise divert their Safer Supply medication. Diversion represents a reason for removal from the Safer Supply program. \r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>How can I submit a referral to this program for myself or another person? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Referrals can be submitted independently or by a service provider on behalf of somebody interested in the program. Submission of referrals opens on the 1st Tuesday of each month (see calendar below). Referrals can be submitted online through the referral link below or in person at 115 Water Street North, Kitchener. In person drop off is only open on the 1st Tuesday of the month between 09:00 am and 4:00 pm. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We will only be accepting 20 referrals per month at this time.

In partnership with the Inner City Health Alliance and The Working Centre, Sanguen Health Centre received funding from Health Canada to address the devastating impacts of the opioid crisis in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Through this program, health practitioners prescribe legal, pharmaceutical opioids to clients to replace the illicit and toxic street supply. Safer Supply focuses on a team-based, person-centred approach within a community-based model of care. Our program offers stability for clients by providing support around a client\'s substance use and other key social determinants of health. </p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Who can participate in the program? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This program is offered to high-risk individuals who use unregulated, street-level substances and are at high risk of overdose and overdose related death. Criteria is determined once the referral form is processed. Once a referral form is accepted, individuals will meet with team members working in the Safer Supply Program to complete an Information Session and an assessment of an individual’s eligibility. In order to be eligible for this program, you must be currently residing in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What is expected of the program participants? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Each client is required to adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the program. The guidelines are reviewed during the Information Session and in the Program Agreement and include but are not limited to: </p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to attend weekly appointments with their doctor/nurse practitioner, submit weekly urine samples and pick up their medication as directed at their specified pharmacy.</li>\r\n<li>Clients will be honest with their doctor regarding drug use outside of their Safer Supply prescription. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to engage with Community Navigators, Care Facilitators and Nurses on social and health related goals. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will not sell or otherwise divert their Safer Supply medication. Diversion represents a reason for removal from the Safer Supply program. \r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>How can I submit a referral to this program for myself or another person? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Referrals can be submitted independently or by a service provider on behalf of somebody interested in the program. Submission of referrals opens on the 1st Tuesday of each month (see calendar below). Referrals can be submitted online through the referral link below or in person at 115 Water Street North, Kitchener. In person drop off is only open on the 1st Tuesday of the month between 09:00 am and 4:00 pm. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We will only be accepting 20 referrals per month at this time.

Funded by Health Canada in March 2021, the program aimed to reduce overdose-related harm and prevent deaths in Kitchener-Waterloo by providing a safer alternative to the toxic, unregulated street drug supply. Funding for the Safer Supply program was discontinued in 2023 resulting in a change in direction.</span>\r\n<h3><b>What is Safer Supply?</b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safer Supply is a harm reduction approach where legal, pharmaceutical-grade opioids are prescribed by Physicians and Nurse Practitioners to individuals at high risk of overdose.

In partnership with the Inner City Health Alliance and The Working Centre, Sanguen Health Centre received funding from Health Canada to address the devastating impacts of the opioid crisis in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Through this program, health practitioners prescribe legal, pharmaceutical opioids to clients to replace the illicit and toxic street supply. Safer Supply focuses on a team-based, person-centred approach within a community-based model of care. Our program offers stability for clients by providing support around a client\'s substance use and other key social determinants of health. </p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Who can participate in the program? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This program is offered to high-risk individuals who use unregulated, street-level substances and are at high risk of overdose and overdose related death. Criteria is determined once the referral form is processed. Once a referral form is accepted, individuals will meet with team members working in the Safer Supply Program to complete an Information Session and an assessment of an individual’s eligibility. In order to be eligible for this program, you must be currently residing in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What is expected of the program participants? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Each client is required to adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the program. The guidelines are reviewed during the Information Session and in the Program Agreement and include but are not limited to: </p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to attend weekly appointments with their doctor/nurse practitioner, submit weekly urine samples and pick up their medication as directed at their specified pharmacy.</li>\r\n<li>Clients will be honest with their doctor regarding drug use outside of their Safer Supply prescription. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to engage with Community Navigators, Care Facilitators and Nurses on social and health related goals. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will not sell or otherwise divert their Safer Supply medication. Diversion represents a reason for removal from the Safer Supply program. \r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>How can I submit a referral to this program for myself or another person? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Referrals can be submitted independently or by a service provider on behalf of somebody interested in the program. Submission of referrals opens on the 1st Tuesday of each month (see calendar below). Referrals can be submitted online through the referral link below or in person at 115 Water Street North, Kitchener. In person drop off is only open on the 1st Tuesday of the month between 09:00 am and 4:00 pm. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We will only be accepting 20 referrals per month at this time.

The Mobile Health Clinic is an extension of the excellent harm reduction, outreach and health work Sanguen has been offering the region for years. The Telus Health Mobile Health Clinic brings to life that phrase “Meeting people where they are at” by offering low-barrier primary care health services to the community’s most marginalized - individuals experiencing chronic poverty, homelessness, substance use and mental health challenges in Kitchener and Cambridge.  \r\n\r\n In mid-March 2020, Ontario experienced the first province wide lockdown due to COVID-19.  Sanguen’s Mobile Health Clinic responded to the community needs created by this pandemic and quickly adapted its services to offer COVID-19 testing for people experiencing homelessness or who are precariously housed.  \r\n\r\nSanguen is so very excited and grateful to be able to offer this kind of low-barrier medical and mental health care to the community. An undertaking of this magnitude can only be achieved by the work of many hands, and Sanguen would like to warmly thank community partners for their on-going support.  Alongside Telus Health as a Community Partner, Sanguen would like to thank the Kitchener Downtown Community Health Centre (KDCHC), Lang’s Farm, the Working Centre, the Inner City Health Alliance and the Waterloo Wellington LHIN.\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n[/av_one_full]\r\n\r\n[av_one_third first min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' row_boxshadow=\'\' row_boxshadow_color=\'\' row_boxshadow_width=\'10\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' highlight=\'\' highlight_size=\'\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' column_boxshadow=\'\' column_boxshadow_color=\'\' column_boxshadow_width=\'10\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-6ilghb\']\r\n[av_video src=\'https://youtu.be/Awr4WiZY6Po\' mobile_image=\'\' attachment=\'\' attachment_size=\'\' format=\'16-9\' width=\'16\' height=\'9\' conditional_play=\'\' av_uid=\'av-kkzxsxpl\']\r\n[/av_one_third]\r\n\r\n[av_two_third min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' row_boxshadow=\'\' row_boxshadow_color=\'\' row_boxshadow_width=\'10\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' highlight=\'\' highlight_size=\'\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' column_boxshadow=\'\' column_boxshadow_color=\'\' column_boxshadow_width=\'10\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-42kaz3\']\r\n[av_gallery ids=\'1285,1284,1283\' style=\'thumbnails\' preview_size=\'portfolio\' crop_big_preview_thumbnail=\'avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb\' thumb_size=\'portfolio\' columns=\'3\' imagelink=\'lightbox\' lazyload=\'avia_lazyload\' av_uid=\'av-kkzxabmt\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n[/av_two_third]\r\n\r\n[av_one_full first min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' row_boxshadow=\'\' row_boxshadow_color=\'\' row_boxshadow_width=\'10\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' highlight=\'\' highlight_size=\'\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' column_boxshadow=\'\' column_boxshadow_color=\'\' column_boxshadow_width=\'10\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-npg9in\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jkztl2ku\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">What Does the Telus Mobile Health Bus Offer?</h2>\r\n\r\nThe Mobile Clinic offers essential primary medical and mental health services, and works closely with outreach and other organizations to strengthen networks of care and support.  The Bus is staffed with a nurse practitioner, a nurse and a social support coordinator to offer interdisciplinary care and support. A special focus is placed on offering services with dignity and respect and building relationship. \r\n\r\nThe Bus is equipped with TELUS Health’s electronic medical record (EMR) and wifi network.  This means that medical and mental health data can be collected and stored over time and offer better continuity of care for patients who previously had undocumented health histories.\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'short\' height=\'50\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' position=\'center\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' icon_select=\'yes\' custom_icon_color=\'\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' av_uid=\'av-jkzubfi0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' av_uid=\'av-ksz1v3wh\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Primary Care Telus Bus Schedule September 2021</h3>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_table purpose=\'pricing\' pricing_table_design=\'avia_pricing_default\' pricing_hidden_cells=\'\' caption=\'\' responsive_styling=\'avia_responsive_table\' av_uid=\'av-mob8sv\']\r\n[av_row row_style=\'avia-heading-row\'][av_cell col_style=\'\']Monday[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']Tuesday[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']Wednesday[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']Thursday[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']Friday[/av_cell][/av_row]\r\n[av_row row_style=\'\'][av_cell col_style=\'\']10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\r\n300 Frederick Street, Kitchener, The Healing of the Seven Generations\r\n\r\n1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.\r\n1585 Battler Road, Kitchener, A Better Tent City\r\n\r\n[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\r\n147 Elgin Street, Cambridge, The Vineyard\r\n\r\n1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.\r\n150 Main Street, Cambridge, Drop In Centre\r\n\r\n3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.\r\n54 Ainslie St S, Cambridge, Self Help Foodbank\r\n\r\n[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']Bus does not run on Wednesday, but nurses are available by telephone[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.\r\n1585 Battler Road, Kitchener, A Better Tent City\r\n\r\n5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.\r\n1455 Weber St East, Kitchener, Weber Motel/Sherwood Motel\r\n\r\n7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.\r\n659 King Street East, Kitchener, Ray of Hope\r\n[/av_cell][av_cell col_style=\'\']BUS DOES NOT RUN ON FRIDAY\r\n\r\n[/av_cell][/av_row]\r\n[/av_table]\r\n\r\n[/av_one_full][av_one_full first min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' row_boxshadow=\'\' row_boxshadow_color=\'\' row_boxshadow_width=\'10\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' highlight=\'\' highlight_size=\'\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' column_boxshadow=\'\' column_boxshadow_color=\'\' column_boxshadow_width=\'10\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-2nu68f\']\r\n[av_hr class=\'short\' height=\'50\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' position=\'center\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' icon_select=\'yes\' custom_icon_color=\'\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' av_uid=\'av-jkzubfi0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jkztybs2\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">We Need Your Support</h2>\r\n<p><strong>Community support is crucial to the success of The Telus Mobile Health Bus.</strong>  As a registered charity, Sanguen will provide a tax receipt for your donations.

As an organization we were aware that community health outreach is one of the most effective strategies to engage with people who live ‘outside’ of the system, who are marginalized, chronically poor, homeless or at risk of homelessness and who use substances.  Creating the ability to go out and meet people where they are at really decreases barriers faced in accessing services, and builds relationship of trust and respect that translates immediately into better whole health outcomes. The model of a mobile community health van just made sense for Sanguen and the work we wanted to accomplish, and so the long road to acquire community partners and funding began.  </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Waterloo Region Community Health Van was launched in 2015, and services have grown through partnerships with the Region of Waterloo and the TELUS HEALTH FOR GOOD Program. The ‘Van’ services Kitchener and Cambridge and makes different stops throughout these cities.  Our interdisciplinary team staffs the Van, and connects community members with harm reduction supplies, such as new drug gear, needle exchange, condoms, etc; naloxone training and distribution; food, clothing, hygiene items, nursing, peer and social supports. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Community Health Van works in close collaboration and partnership with so many other excellent services, strengthening the services offered to our community members.  </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'short\' height=\'50\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' position=\'center\'

In partnership with the Inner City Health Alliance and The Working Centre, Sanguen Health Centre received funding from Health Canada to address the devastating impacts of the opioid crisis in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Through this program, health practitioners prescribe legal, pharmaceutical opioids to clients to replace the illicit and toxic street supply. Safer Supply focuses on a team-based, person-centred approach within a community-based model of care. Our program offers stability for clients by providing support around a client\'s substance use and other key social determinants of health. </p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Who can participate in the program? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This program is offered to high-risk individuals who use unregulated, street-level substances and are at high risk of overdose and overdose related death. Criteria is determined once the referral form is processed. Once a referral form is accepted, individuals will meet with team members working in the Safer Supply Program to complete an Information Session and an assessment of an individual’s eligibility. In order to be eligible for this program, you must be currently residing in the Region of Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What is expected of the program participants? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Each client is required to adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the program. The guidelines are reviewed during the Information Session and in the Program Agreement and include but are not limited to: </p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to attend weekly appointments with their doctor/nurse practitioner, submit weekly urine samples and pick up their medication as directed at their specified pharmacy.</li>\r\n<li>Clients will be honest with their doctor regarding drug use outside of their Safer Supply prescription. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will be expected to engage with Community Navigators, Care Facilitators and Nurses on social and health related goals. </li>\r\n<li>Clients will not sell or otherwise divert their Safer Supply medication. Diversion represents a reason for removal from the Safer Supply program. \r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>How can I submit a referral to this program for myself or another person? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Referrals can be submitted independently or by a service provider on behalf of somebody interested in the program.

In partnership with the Inner City Health Alliance, The Working Centre, and Sanguen Health Centre, we received funding from Health Canada to address the devastating impacts of the opioid crisis in the Region of Waterloo.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Through this program, health practitioners prescribe legal, pharmaceutical opioids to clients to replace the illicit and toxic street supply. Safer Supply focuses on a team-based, person-centred approach within a community-based model of care. Our program offers stability for clients by providing support around a client’s substance use and other key social determinants of health.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Who can participate in the program? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This program is offered to high-risk individuals who use unregulated, street-level substances and are at high risk of overdose and overdose related death. Criteria is determined once the referral form is processed. Once a referral form is accepted, individuals will meet with team members working in the Safer Supply Program to complete an Information Session and an assessment of an individual’s eligibility. In order to be eligible for this program, you must be currently residing in Kitchener-Waterloo. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What is expected of the program participants? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Each client is required to adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the program. The guidelines are reviewed during the Information Session and in the Program Agreement and include but are not limited to: </p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Participants will be expected to attend weekly appointments with their doctor/nurse practitioner, submit weekly urine samples, and pick up their medication as directed at their specified pharmacy.</li>\r\n<li>Participants will be honest with their doctor/nurse practitioner regarding drug use outside of their Safer Supply prescription.</li>\r\n<li>Participants will be expected to engage with Community Navigators, Care Facilitators and Nurses on social and health related goals. </li>\r\n<li>Participants will not sell or otherwise divert their Safer Supply medication. Diversion represents a reason for removal from the Safer Supply program.\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>How can I submit a referral to this program for myself or another person? </h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Referrals can be submitted independently or by a service provider on behalf of somebody interested in the program. Submission of referrals opens on the 1st Tuesday of each month (see dates below). Referrals can be submitted online through the referral link below or in person at 115 Water Street North, Kitchener. In person drop off is only open on the 1st Tuesday of the month between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We will only be accepting 20 referrals per month at this time. Once we receive 20 referral forms the window to submit referral forms will be closed until the 1st Tuesday of the following month. Due to capacity we will not be holding a wait list. </p>\r\n\r\n<p><br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Referral Opening Dates: </h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Tuesday, September 7, 2021 </li>\r\n\r\n<li>Tuesday, October 5, 2021 </li>\r\n\r\n<li>Tuesday, November 2, 2021 </li>\r\n\r\n<li>Tuesday, December 7, 2021 </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h4>Safer Supply Referral Form </h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfG3uED1KYtPujZQOcTNBC2erPceLti8LNxbKpn73UavwFU-w/viewform?usp=sf_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Access referral form </a>(Google Forms Online)</p>\r\n<p><br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For more information about the Safer Supply Program, please email <a href=\"mailto:safersupply@sanguen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">safersupply@sanguen.com</a>. </p>\r\n\r\n<p><br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Safer Supply Program received support from the Government of Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program.</p>\r\n\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_button label=\'Print Safe Supply Referral Form\' link=\'manually,https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WeBWbw2aeidy8q7nb-THR1FpM7HME7wv/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108539247620855506419&rtpof=true&sd=true\' link_target=\'_blank\' size=\'x-large\' position=\'center\' label_display=\'\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue838\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' color=\'theme-color\' custom_bg=\'#444444\' custom_font=\'#ffffff\' av_uid=\'av-ksq9ysha\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[/av_one_full]','Safer Supply Program','','inherit','closed','closed','','1474-revision-v1','','','2021-09-21 16:35:28','2021-09-21 20:35:28','',1474,'https://sanguen.com/?p=1506',0,'revision','',0),

As an organization we were aware that community health outreach is one of the most effective strategies to engage with people who live ‘outside’ of the system, who are marginalized, chronically poor, homeless or at risk of homelessness and who use substances.  Creating the ability to go out and meet people where they are at really decreases barriers faced in accessing services, and builds relationship of trust and respect that translates immediately into better whole health outcomes. The model of a mobile community health van just made sense for Sanguen and the work we wanted to accomplish, and so the long road to acquire community partners and funding began.  </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Waterloo Region Community Health Van was launched in 2015, and services have grown through partnerships with the Region of Waterloo and the TELUS HEALTH FOR GOOD Program. The ‘Van’ services Kitchener and Cambridge and makes different stops throughout these cities.  Our interdisciplinary team staffs the Van, and connects community members with harm reduction supplies, such as new drug gear, needle exchange, condoms, etc; naloxone training and distribution; food, clothing, hygiene items, nursing, peer and social supports. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Community Health Van works in close collaboration and partnership with so many other excellent services, strengthening the services offered to our community members.  </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'short\' height=\'50\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' position=\'center\'

In my spare time, I participate in 5k run events to help raise funds for various causes; this also helps me contribute to my self-care to keep good mental health.”\' font_color=\'\' custom_title=\'\' custom_content=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jl14cydi\' admin_preview_bg=\'\'][/av_team_member]\r\n[/av_one_third]\r\n\r\n[av_one_third min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-g58m3\']\r\n[av_team_member name=\'Tristen Lippert\' job=\'SJK Harm Reduction Coordinator\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Tristen-Lippert.jpg\' attachment=\'1188\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Tristen has worked in various support roles such as a Streets to Housing Outreach Worker, Social Enterprise Coordinator, and Employment Counselor with various agencies in the downtown Kitchener core.
