Great to meet you
The Benedict Center is an interfaith nonprofit dedicated to helping women affected by the criminal justice system. The organization provides substance use disorder treatment, mental health counseling, sexual assault advocacy, street outreach, and drop-in centers. Services include individual and group counseling through the Women's Harm Reduction Program for women in the criminal justice system. The Sisters Program serves women in street-based sex trade through a harm reduction and housing-first approach. The Women's Reentry Program supports incarcerated women's successful return to the community. The Benedict Center also provides pre-trial services, early intervention, reentry services, and community-based services to help navigate the criminal justice system. The organization uses trauma-informed and gender-responsive approaches, recognizing that justice-involved women are disproportionately impacted by substance use, mental health issues, and trauma.

Harm reduction
Harm Reduction. Meets you where you are. Focuses on reducing the damage of use today rather than requiring abstinence as the entry condition.
