To CENTER People Who Use Drugs

Our Mission: To reduce overdose, confront the impact of trauma, and invest in the long-term wellbeing of Black people most impacted by addiction, drug use, and overdose in St. Louis

Our Current Priorities


Change the Narrative: The entire community will understand the urgency of the current epidemic for Black people in St. Louis while appreciating and celebrating the many paths to recovery.

Promote Safe Use: Safe use supplies are standard and equitably distributed in Black communities with champions trained to respond and promote individual and community wellbeing.

Increase Service Options: Black people are served equally by the existing continuum of substance use services and new innovative models are supported to expand healing care and social support.
