Marissa knows that it isn't always easy to ask for help when you need it. It can make all the difference when someone else takes that first step to show up for you. That's how Marissa describes her work for Santa Clara County's Sexual Health and Harm Reduction Program (SHHRP). Marissa and her team don't just offer supplies and resources, but they offer connection without judgment, accepting people at any stage of their substance use with a focus on improving health and wellness. Local harm reduction programs can provide a number of different supports whether you are looking for support for yourself or a loved one.
