The Empowerment Program Inc. is a licensed mental health and drug treatment program providing trauma-informed and gender-responsive outpatient services. We believe that participants benefit most from a holistic approach, where many types of treatments are available to meet individual needs. We meet people where they’re at, and encouraging realistic options for reducing harm in sexual activity and drug usage so individuals can use what works for them. Some of the harm reduction strategies we use include HIV/HCV/STI testing, PrEP Navigation, sexual wellness, sharps disposal, Narcan for the community, and safer drug usage kits that reduce bloodborne pathogen transmission. Alongside our harm reduction program, we also assist individuals in overcoming barriers in receiving HIV healthcare services through individualized case management.
Wellness spreads and when you take time to focus on your wellness you are also taking time to increase the resiliency of your family and community. If you are interested in reducing harm to your body by addressing substance use and mental wellness this is a great place for you to start.

Introduction
The nature of this Handbook is philosophical. It is meant to encourage self-awareness, broaden wisdom and a sense of peace. Through personal growth, this Handbook helps us learn what it means to have soul and to share this sense of soul with others – building our communities, our nation and assisting our global neighbors. When our safety and stability are dismantled, for whatever reason, we can learn to remain balanced and exhibit measured, moral behavior. This Handbook offers a guide for discussion and thought. The Handbook reflects best-practice, trauma-informed ideas from an applied philosophy perspective. Joycee Kennedy, August, 2018 |
