Resumo: The organization was established in Croatia in1992, as an NGO for helping youth and people with drug related problems. The residence of the organization is in the city, but the field of activities spans wider. We run activities in several other cities and islands in the county, as well as in other Northern and Southern Croatian counties.
All our activities are running in two ways through two main parallels programs: Youth Information Centre (YIC) and Harm Reduction (HR).

The main goal of Harm Reduction (HR) is HIV/AIDS prevention. In the frame of HR activities we try to reduce the harm caused by drug use or harm of the other high risk behaviors, particularly commercial sex work. The target group is population with high risk behaviors; intravenous drug users (IDUs), commercial sex workers (CSW), and PLWHIV (people living with HIV/AIDS).
Some of the activities of HR are: Needle Exchange service, out - reach work, sending IDUs to treat in therapeutic communities in country and abroad, Voluntary Counselling and Testing on HIV and hepatitis (VCT), distributing educational materials, providing condoms free of charge, raising public awareness about HIV/AIDS, helping PLWHIV in everyday life struggle, providing education, trainings etc.
