Sources
We prioritize current government guidance, original service providers, established community organizations, and clearly labeled knowledge from people with lived experience. Time-sensitive medical, emergency, legal, availability, eligibility, date, and location claims must link to the original source.
Language and dignity
We use person-first, non-stigmatizing language, including “people who use drugs” and “person experiencing an overdose” where accurate. We avoid sensationalism, moral judgments, and language that reduces a person to a diagnosis, substance, or death.
Review and clinical-review limitation
Content is source-linked and reviewed for clarity, respectful language, and consistency with the cited material. It has not received independent clinical review. The sites do not provide individualized medical, legal, crisis, or treatment advice.
Resource-heavy and governance pages show a last-reviewed date. Substantive changes to emergency, medical, legal, privacy, or service-availability meaning update that date.
Corrections and broken resources
Email [email protected] with the page URL, the statement or link in question, and the original source when available. We assess corrections against primary sources and update the page and review date when a substantive correction is made.
Commercial independence
Resource recommendations are not paid placements. Any future sponsorship, affiliate relationship, or commercial connection that could affect how a visitor reads a recommendation will be disclosed clearly beside the relevant content.
