Have you heard of Shift?

Recommended Posts

 

Shift has a harm reduction and rights-based approach to sex work. We recognize that sex work is a choice for many, and respect the rights of adults to make this choice. We also recognize that for some, factors such as poverty or exploitation can put people into situations where they don’t have control. We are non-exit based and do not require abstinence from sex work to access our services.

What can we do for you?

  • Supportive counselling and case management
  • Free safer sex supplies
  • Advocacy: Income supports, Child and Family Services, etc.
  • Escort, Massage, Entertainment licensing information and support
  • Sexual health information
  • Referrals for low-cost contraception and for HIV and STI testing
  • Working safely: “Bad Date” reporting, safer working strategies (date screening, condom negotiation)
  • Referrals: Mental health, substance use treatment, housing, financial, employment, basic needs, legal

How to become a client:

In order to access these services, with the exception of harm reduction and safer sex supplies, you must be a registered client with Shift. To become registered you can drop by the space at 1603 10 Ave SW to do an intake, or I can meet you in a location in the community. This could be a coffee shop or any public space in which you are comfortable discussing private information. The office location consists of a drop-in space for registered clients and private rooms for confidential discussions and intakes. Intakes can be done under an alias if you are not comfortable using your given name. The drop-in location is open Tuesday-Friday from 9-4 (closed between 12:30-1:30) and I am available in community Monday-Friday by appointment. To connect with me either privately message me or text/call 587-999-3304
