We’re proud of our Maternal Child and Family Health staffers BEVERLEY WHITE-MACKLIN, Shilpa Joshi, Tonya Robinson, Kamilah Davis, Kenisha Makau, and Kitty Zhou, MPH for bringing awareness to an important reproductive health issue in our African/African Ancestry community.

Marissa knows that it isn't always easy for people who use drugs to ask for help. It makes all the difference when someone else takes that first step to show up for them. That's how Marissa describes her work for the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department ’s Sexual Health and Harm Reduction Program (https://lnkd.in/gd7_9GSJ). Marissa and her team don't just offer supplies and resources, but connection without judgment, accepting people at any stage in their substance use. This focus on stigma-free health and wellness is at the heart of SHHRP’s harm reduction approach. Many thanks to our partners at Shatterproof (https://lnkd.in/emH_7D9) for helping SHHRP get the word out to local residents that support is available. Learn more about the County’s harm reduction approach and resources at ODFreeSCC.org. https://lnkd.in/g6gjNvbd
