Prevention and harm reduction in the party environment
Our team creates, publishes, and distributes harm reduction resources and material for the purpose of making information accessible, encouraging safe drug use and safer sex practices, and preventing sexual violence.
What we offer:
✔ Neutral, fact-based information: effects and risks of substances, law of effect, harm reduction strategies.
✔ Safe consumption equipment: clean/sterile equipment to reduce the risks associated with substance use.
✔ Sexual health: internal/external condoms, lubricants and resources.
✔ Overdose prevention: naloxone distribution and fentanyl detection kits.
✔ Personalized advice: we encourage listening to oneself before, during and after consumption, and provide tools adapted to each individual.
📍 Service available in kiosk format.
Outreach intervention
Our teams of outreach workers go out into the field (raves, festivals) to provide a caring, proactive presence. In addition to promoting our services and distributing materials, we spot high-risk situations (overdoses, violence, bad trips, heatstroke) so we can intervene quickly and promote the health and safety of participants.
📍 This service is offered in the form of a duo of outreach workers who walk around the event to be able to react quickly and effectively in the event of a situation needing intervention to keep everyone safe.
Psychosocial support and crisis intervention
Our harm reduction workers are also on hand to support people going through a difficult situation (unwanted effects of substances, badtrip, anxiety, mild dehydration) or a crisis (psychological distress, sexual violence, overdose, psychosis, acute stress).
We prioritize a direct and empathetic approach to de-escalate a situation, while collaborating with security and medical teams where they exist. We seek to restore a state of equilibrium, encourage people’s autonomy and empowerment, while directing them to appropriate resources as needed.
📍 This service is offered in the form of a ‘’Safe Space’‘ in which people can take a quiet moment, sit, lie down, and refocus in order to regain their equilibrium in a caring and reassuring setting.
Sexual Violence and Harassment Prevention
The Spotlight service is designed to promote the well-being, inclusion and safety of everyone in the party. For us, prevention and intervention are necessary to create a safe and egalitarian environment.
Available for all types of gatherings – whether festive events, conferences or other cultural events – our aim is to encourage everyone’s participation to ensure an inclusive, respectful and enjoyable experience for all.
Drug checking
We offer a completely legal and free mobile drug checking service.
This service identifies the composition of substances, as well as the possible presence of cutting agents. The aim is to provide participants with as much information as possible about the substances they use, to enable them to make informed choices and reduce the risks associated with consumption (overdoses, unexpected effects…)
It’s a harm reduction approach based on the autonomy, health and safety of participants.
📍 This service is offered inside our drug checking van.
