SafeLink Alberta prioritizes people first and uses a human rights-based model to provide all of our services. Our approach includes:

• Non-judgmental treatment that recognizes the dignity, compassion, and respect that every person deserves, regardless of their circumstance or condition.
• Evidence-based, feasible, and cost-effective practices aimed at preventing and reducing harm.
• Behaviour change seen as a gradual process, where individuals go through self-discovery and transition stages.
• Active involvement of people with lived and living experience and community stakeholders in shaping policies and practices that make sense.
• Focus on improving the quality of life and health outcomes for individuals and communities, rather than pushing for a cessation or abstinence approach.
• Recognition of the complex social factors that influence vulnerability.
• Empowering people to take charge of their own health and wellbeing.
• Commitment to defending universal human rights.

At SafeLink Alberta, we're dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and supported, no matter what their needs are. We offer a range of services, including safer substance use supplies, safer sex supplies, STBBI testing and treatment support, naloxone kits, basic food and hygiene supplies, information, education, and referrals, as well as advocacy to address barriers to service.

Our commitment to defending universal human rights is at the core of everything we do.
