Change Point is a program of Northern Nevada HOPES and is Nevada’s first legal syringe services program. Change Point provides syringe services, harm reduction supplies, counseling, and free HIV and hepatitis C testing. Change Point embraces diversity and advocates for medically underserved groups in the community.
Change Point services are free and open to the community, and you do not need to be a HOPES patient to access Change Point services.
‘Harm Reduction’ is a philosophy and strategy that empowers individuals to reduce harm to themselves by 1) setting realistic goals and 2) validating any positive step or incremental change. Although Harm Reduction was initially implemented around drug use, it now has a wider range of applications, including sex, diet, health, and any aspect of self-care.
