Consumption and Treatment Services
(CTS)-The Trailer
Shepherds of Good Hope, 230 Murray Street
With 14 booths operating 24/7 providing in excess of 7000 visits per month, the Trailer is a busy place. Frequent overdoses in combination with the effects of an unstable drug supply make working in this site both challenging and rewarding. In addition to supervision of people while they inject drugs, the consumption and treatment services provides a Safer Supply program, primary care, mental health care and substance use treatment. Case managers working within the CTS identify clients and work with them to reach goals and access treatment as needed.

Street Outreach
Byward Market & Lowertown, Ottawa
From May to October, teams of 2 peers travel around the streets of the Byward Market engaging with clients and trying to respond to the overwhelming needs of those living in encampments. The addition of E-bikes last year allowed staff to serve many more individuals than previously.
