Today, our staff members, Peter and Brian, went out onto the streets of Rome with Fondazione Villa Maraini Mobile Street Units. These units provide valuable services to drug users and the wider community. They provide syringes, plus baby food and milk to substance users. They provide condoms, hepatitis and HIV testing to the Transgender community and people involved in Prostitution. They administer naloxone to anyone they see who overdose. They also walk around the community to retrieve all used syringes that have been thrown in local streets and parks. Thank you Villa Maraini for your hospitality.

Our staff members, Peter and Brian, thank the staff in Fondazione Villa Maraini, in Rome, for showing them around their service yesterday, as part of their Erasmus trip. This service has a range of services for people recovering from addiction, ranging from multiple harm reduction supports to an Alternative to Detention Centre, which provides Therapeutic Treatment to men, in place of a prison sentence.
