Peer-led Treatment Accompaniment Programme

The Bellhaven Harm Reduction Centre has been able to extend its reach beyond its immediate surrounding community, to have an impact on homeless and low income drug users located in other parts of the municipality. The peer-led treatment accompaniment programme utilizes peers to deliver chronic medication to homeless individuals who are too sick to come into the BHRC, or who are too busy because of their work. Individuals on this programme have a history of defaulting on medication because of their living arrangements or social conditions, requiring additional social support to stay on medication, and are paired with peers who are currently homeless and have a shared history with their clients living on the streets and using drugs. The programme is led by AA&D South Africa and overseen by Bellhaven social worker, Torres Luna and professional nurse Carla Louise-Horwood, nurse assistant Eugene Mulanda, and peer supporters Bonginkosi, Melloh, Menzi, and Xolani.
