“You’ll Get That Bounce!” NY Harm Reduction Org Hosts Vaping Group
Saint Ann’s Corner of Harm Reduction (SACHR) is a pioneering organization providing essential services to marginalized communities in the South Bronx. Since 1990, SACHR has run a syringe services program, now expanded to offer buprenorphine, naloxone, and case management. Recently, SACHR introduced a vaping group to help people transition from cigarettes, which pose serious health risks. Participants shared positive experiences with vaping, noting health improvements. Recognizing the importance of harm reduction, SACHR aims to integrate safer nicotine products into its services. Vaping has already shown to enhance quality of life for participants managing complex health conditions, demonstrating the organization's commitment to holistic wellbeing.
