Every day across California, our California Overdose Prevention Harm Reduction Initiative (COPHRI) funded partners serve as trusted health hubs, connecting community members to care, support and resources that too often remain out of reach. Whether it’s wound care, food and meals, overdose prevention, syringe services or connections to treatment, these programs meet people where they are with dignity, respect and practical support. Our 2025 Point-in-Time (PIT) Survey, conducted with 1,441 participants across 52 harm reduction programs, reinforces what our communities have long known: trusted relationships save lives. Survey findings showed that 73% of participants received naloxone in the previous three months, and 91% of reported naloxone administrations were carried out by peers and community members. The survey also found strong interest in treatment and health services, with many participants preferring to access that care through harm reduction programs. Swipe through to see how participants are accessing care through COPHRI programs and visit our website for more of the data story along with a one-pager of the 2025 COPHRI PIT survey results.

Over 15 organizations came together earlier this month for a My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Sacramento roundtable focused on strengthening our collective impact across Sacramento County. We reflected on the history and legacy of the MBK network, discussed where we are today and identified priorities that will help shape the 2027-30 Guide to Action. As we look ahead, we’re focused on reinvigorating the MBK network, strengthening collaboration across partners, aligning resources and relationships to transform systems, and advancing equity and opportunity for boys and men of color. Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation and contributed their perspectives.

Interested in connecting with the MBK network or joining a future Steering Committee meeting? DM us!

We thank the Sacramento LGBT Center for affirming through their work a simple truth: hate has no place in our communities. As a valued partner and trusted community resource in our region, the Sacramento LGBT Center continues to bring people together in support of safety, connection and belonging following recent incidents in Sacramento's Lavender Heights district. Community healing and safety are strongest when they are led by the people most connected to and invested in the community. We encourage those seeking support or looking to help learn more about the Sacramento LGBT Center's upcoming Community Safety Convening and the efforts underway to support community safety in Lavender Heights. Email [email protected] for details.
Posted in solidarity with Sacramento LGBT Community Center and our 2S/LGBTQIA+ communities.

On World Su***de Prevention Day we are reminded that creating a world where people feel seen, supported and connected starts with reducing stigma and having honest conversations about ourselves and mental health. At The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, we believe that meeting people where they are is essential to building communities where everyone knows they matter. Through past efforts like the You Are Never a Bother youth su***de prevention campaign, we worked alongside young people and partners to promote messages of hope, connection and support. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available through the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

Across the San Joaquin Valley, too many families still face challenges accessing safe drinking water and affordable housing. That’s why The Center’s San Joaquin Valley Health Fund’s partner Self-Help Enterprises is advancing community-driven solutions that address both.

From supporting local leaders navigating water infrastructure programs to developing affordable housing communities built with safe, reliable drinking water in mind, Self Help Enterprises is helping create healthier futures for Valley residents, with residents and community members at the core of all they do.

Self Help Enterprises staff Eddie Ocampo shared: “We can talk about policy all day, but for families, it comes down to this: Can I turn on the tap, and is my home going to be there tomorrow? That’s where health equity starts.”

This work is guided by the San Joaquin Valley Health Fund Policy Platform. For 2025-2027 the platform focuses on the intersectional issues of Immigration, Health, Housing, Education, Environmental Justice, Land Use and Planning, and Digital Divide (IHHEEL). Self Help Enterprises shows our IHHEEL vision in action—advancing health, housing and environmental justice together, not separately. Learn more about Self-Help Enterprises link in bio.

Today marks 90 days since the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, a place meant for worship, learning and community. To honor those impacted, faith leaders, community advocates and partners gathered for an interfaith discussion hosted by The Center at Sierra Health Foundation before joining a public remembrance at the State Capitol. Together, they reflected on the lasting impact of hate and the importance of standing in solidarity across communities. Our Associate Vice President of Programs, Matt Cervantes, joined faith leaders from diverse traditions in reaffirming a shared belief: when any community is targeted, all of us are affected.

As families and communities continue to heal, today’s gathering highlighted the power of dialogue, relationship-building and community-led solutions to foster belonging and help prevent hate before it takes root. The partnerships and leadership cultivated through years of anti-hate work through the state’s Stop the Hate program continue to create space for communities to come together, respond to challenges and support one another. As California looks ahead to the next phase of Stop the Hate work, today’s gathering served as a reminder that community-led solutions remain one of our strongest tools for building a future where everyone belongs.

We honor those impacted by affirming our commitment to a future where everyone can live, learn and worship safely, freely and with dignity.

Harm reduction is about dignity. It is about humanity. It is about meeting people where they are and making sure they feel seen. Our Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) Access Points and California Overdose Prevention and Harm Reduction Initiative program partners show up every day in encampments, at service providers, on street corners and through warmline delivery. If they choose, people can start MAT exactly where their feet are. They can get support from staff who understand their experiences. They can access care without stigma or shame. This work matters because people deserve to be treated with autonomy and dignity. Please watch our new video featuring MAT & COPHRI partners and read more; head to the link in our bio!

From mental health counseling and food access to workforce readiness and educational support, West Modesto Community Collaborative advances several priorities of the San Joaquin Valley Health Fund IHEEL Policy Platform. Their work demonstrates how addressing interconnected community needs can help residents and families thrive.

Their success reflects what’s possible when communities, schools, healthcare providers, nonprofits, businesses and local agencies work together toward a shared vision. Learn more at WestModestoCollaborative.com.

For nearly 10 consecutive summers, youth from eight different communities have come together through the Kings & Queens Rise Summer Basketball & Cheer Program to compete, build friendships, and grow both on and off the court. 🏀📣👑

As the Black Child Legacy Community Lead for Del Paso Heights/North Sacramento, Roberts Family Development Center is proud to use this program as more than just a sports league. It is an opportunity to provide mentorship, leadership development, positive enrichment, and a safe space where our young people can thrive.

Every practice, every game, and every conversation is another chance to encourage our youth, strengthen community connections, and remind them that they are seen, valued, and capable of greatness.

Thank you to our coaches, cheer advisors, families, volunteers, partners, and every young person who continues to make Kings & Queens Rise a tradition of excellence and community.

Together, we’re not just building athletes—we’re building future leaders. ❤️🖤
