Street intervention in Tiohtià:ke
Do you know about street work and resources that are available in Tiohtià:ke?
Street workers are people who work with youth or adults experiencing difficulties in the streets, in a neighbourhood or in any other place of affiliation. Although the basis of street work is to create meaningful relationships with users, not all have the same approach; some prefer a harm reduction approach, by distributing, for example, condoms and safe consumption material. Others respond specifically to the primary needs of the people they meet, providing food, water, personal hygiene products and blankets. Many offer information, referrals and accompaniment services.
We have prepared a non-exhaustive list of organizations that offer street work services. Before going to their offices, it is important to call them to make sure that the organization offers services in the neighbourhood of your choice and that correspond to your needs.
