The Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition (KyHRC) improves the public health of Kentuckians by reducing overdoses, overdose deaths, and the transmission of blood-borne diseases such as HIV and HCV.

KyHRC does this by increasing access to Syringe Service Program Sites, increasing the distribution of Naloxone, and by providing Hep C and HIV testing throughout the community.

Naloxone Distribution & Training 

Naloxone (Narcan®) is a medication called an “opioid antagonist” and used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

Syringe Services Programs and Information

Syringe Services Programs (SSPs) help stop the spread of infectious diseases such as HCV and HIV in a community.

Hep C and HIV Testing

A majority of HCV infections are due to injection drug use.  HIV that is undetected and untreated can lead to AIDS.

Mobile Outreach

Services include psychiatric care, case management, access to treatment for substance use disorder (SUD), family support, and education.

It is never to late to change your life for the better!

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”

The purpose of the KYHRC is to educate, train, empower, and engage the community and active users about the benefits of Naloxone and safe needle exchange in the harm reduction process.
