Across the country, tens of thousands of lives have been lost to drug overdoses in recent years. While we’re beginning to see a hopeful decrease nationwide, the crisis is far from over. Every life matters, and prevention, education, and harm reduction continue to save lives every single day.

Fentanyl is powerful, unpredictable, and often mixed into other substances without people knowing. Awareness and access to resources can make the difference between life and death.

At Family Centers CARES, we provide harm reduction services at no cost, including:
• Sterile needles
• Free Narcan (naloxone)
• Fentanyl test strips

Our services are confidential, judgment-free, and here to support our community.

Visit us at 888 Washington Blvd, Stamford, CT 06901 or call 203-977-5096 for more information.

Together, we can reduce overdoses and protect lives. 💜

Do you know your HIV status?

Some people living with HIV may experience symptoms like fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, or rash. But many people have no symptoms at all and can feel completely healthy for years. The only way to know for sure is to get tested. If you’re unsure of your status, getting tested is one of the most important steps you can take for your health and peace of mind.

At Family Centers CARES, we provide FREE HIV testing and services for everyone — no insurance needed. Whether it’s your first time testing or it’s been a while, we’re here for you.

💡 Naloxone (or Narcan) is an opioid antagonist that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose.

💡 The medication can be given by intranasal spray, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection.

💡 With the increase of illegal drugs being laced with fentanyl, it's important you carry Narcan and are ready to prevent an opioid overdose.

Justice should be rooted in science, not fear.

Laws that punish people for their health don’t protect communities.

Stand with those impacted and support dignity, care, and equity for people living with HIV.

-----------------------------------------------------

La justicia debe tener su fundamento en la ciencia, no en el miedo.

Las leyes que castigan a las personas por su salud no protegen a las comunidades.

Apoye a las personas afectadas y defienda la dignidad, la atención y la equidad para las personas que viven con el VIH.

Talking to your kids about safer s*x and HIV may feel uncomfortable, but honest, age-appropriate conversations help young people make informed and safer choices. Education, access, and open communication are key parts of prevention.

At Family Centers CARES, we provide safer s*x education, HIV prevention resources, and free protective supplies (condoms) to support youth, parents, and the community. We’re here to help families navigate these conversations with care, respect, and accurate information—without judgment.
