Does your school or workplace know what rights LGBTQ+ people have? Could the environment be more welcoming for LGBTQ+ people? Do you just want to make sure that everyone is using current terminology? PPF provides education to schools, organizations, non-profits, classrooms, youth, community groups, etc.
We also offer overdose Prevention and Reversal training on how to use Naloxone/Narcan, an antidote for opioid overdose, along with the distribution of Naloxone/Narcan and Fentanyl test strips both at our office and at our Syringe Exchange.

Weekend Screening: The Therapy
The Therapy will be screening as part of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. This documentary film follows the life of Lev, a 54-year-old divorced Orthodox Jew, who attends conversion therapy, and Ben, a 23-year old social work student, who starts questioning the practice. The Therapy unequivocally condemns conversion therapy, and is now part of an impact campaign in collaboration with Born Perfect and the Jerusalem Open House, focused on social change and raise awareness about conversation therapy and why it must be stopped.
