Kit Packing Parties

Trystereo distributes thousands of works kits with fresh injection supplies (like alcohol pads and bandages) each year, and we need your help to make those kits happen! Join us on the first Wednesday of every month at St. Rock Park from 6-8 PM for free pizza, great company and so many healthcare supplies to put into tiny bags. For more information on kit packing parties as they approach, check us out on Instagram at @Trystereo.

Become a collective member

Thank you for your interest! We receive many volunteer inquiries and can always use more help. Please fill out our volunteer questionnaire here. As a small collective, we are sometimes slow to process applications because we have a lot going on! If you haven’t heard from us after a couple of weeks, feel free to check in via email.

Prospective collective members will be invited to a meeting to discuss volunteer roles and responsibilities and independent learning materials, shadow our drop-ins and hotline meetups, followed by an in-person orientation prior to becoming a member of Trystereo.

Become a ‘friend of Trystereo’

authorization

Trystereo | New Orleans Harm Reduction Network is a legal syringe access program. Syringe access supplies should not be considered paraphernalia as they protect participants from communicable diseases like HIV and HCV.

In 2017, the Louisiana Legislature allowed for syringe access programs in the state, if local government authorized them (La R.S. 40:1024).
In 2018, New Orleans City Council passed an ordinance (Code 1956, § 18-32; M.C.S., Ord. No. 27630, § 1, 12-14-17) legalizing syringe access programs in New Orleans.
In 2017 (renewed 2018 and 2019), the Louisiana Department of Health issued a Standing Order (La R.S. 40:978.2) allowing for the distribution and use of naloxone without a prescription from a doctor.
Trystereo’s overdose prevention program is authorized by standing order since 2017 (available upon request).
