CACTUS Montréal

CACTUS Montréal is a community-based harm reduction organization that has been active for 30 years in the prevention of sexually transmitted and bloodborne infections (STBBIs) in downtown Montreal. 

CACTUS Montréal helps and supports marginalized and vulnerable people through various prevention, awareness and education services and activities. We work with people who use drugs, sex workers and trans people in order to promote their health, well-being and social inclusion. We remain active in our community to advocate for their rights and help them voice their needs and concerns. 

Harm reduction informs everything we do. Our approach is pragmatic and humanistic, and centres the participation of the populations we serve. We remain convinced that their inclusion necessarily entails education and discussion.
