Safer Inside: A Community Demonstration
The Safer Inside Demonstration is a full-scale, operational demonstration model of a safe injection site open to the community for education and outreach from August 28 – 31, 2018 in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood.
Presented by the Safer Inside Community, Tenderloin Health Improvement Partnership (TLHIP), Capital One Design Pro Bono and hosted by GLIDE, this collaborative project will demonstrate the integration of safe injection services (SIS) into an existing multi-service organization. The week-long exhibition will provide experiential learning opportunities through interactive displays and guided tours, and allow for community engagement through multiple events, including speaker panels and forums. As a prototype, this project will also provide opportunities to test operational principles and obtain feedback from people who inject drugs, various service providers (including Tenderloin medical clinics, harm reduction programs, and treatment programs) and the community at large.
GENERAL EVENT INFORMATION
The Safer Inside Demonstration is scheduled for August 28 – 31, 2018. This coincides with the annual Californian Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) Conference - The State of the Art in Addiction Medicine (Aug 29- Sept 1) and Overdose Awareness Day (Aug 31). Tours will be around 1 hour long and we will have specific time slots for you to sign up for in the near future.
