The Steady Collective

The Steady Collective The Steady Collective is a non-judgmental, harm reduction based organization that serves people who use drugs. We support any positive change.

The Steady Collective is a Harm Reduction organization and mobile syringe services program dedicated to promoting the well-being of people who use drugs in Asheville, North Carolina through empowerment, respectful collaboration and non-judgmental support. Our primary goal is to enhance community health by reducing rates of drug overdose, injection related injury, and infectious disease through edu

cation, advocacy, and evidence-based direct services. Through our mobile syringe services initiative, we bring these resources directly to where they are most needed. We believe deeply that it is essential for drug users to be the leaders of the Harm Reduction movement. People who use drugs ultimately determine the nature of the services and support offered by The Steady Collective. We work to prioritize the voices of current and former drug users in every aspect of our work with current and former drug users on our staff and board of directors. Additionally, in our paid Participant Advisory Committee meetings we facilitate discussions with current participants in our syringe exchange program to learn how we can best tailor our programs to fit the current needs of the community. At the center of everything we do is an unwavering belief in the dignity of all drug users and their right to the resources which keep them safe.

A long overdue updated weekly schedule - as many have heard, we have had to pivot services several times these last few months while balancing navigating issues with city zoning and the negative community health implications of interruptions in our services. We are deeply thankful to our newest (and historic) partners and for providing a safe landing space for us and their support of our services ❤️
