expertises
Expertise
outreach work
The core of Mainline's activities is outreach work. The outreach workers pick up signals on the street, in social shelters, near sex work and swing venues, in drug consumption rooms, in penitentiaries, at homes of people who use and online on relevant forums and apps. Because only by being in direct contact with people who use, do we know what is going on, and are we able to inform and refer.
chemsex
In chemsex, sex and drugs are combined. The phenomenon is intertwined with the queer community. Mainline conducts long-term research on chemsex, develops educational materials, offers support to people who practice chemsex, and supports organisations in developing and implementing harm reduction interventions around chemsex.
drug information
Over the past 35 years, Mainline has accumulated a wealth of knowledge about substances and marginal use. Substances about which reliable information is sometimes difficult to find online. Read about basecoke, nitazene and psychedelics, for example, and learn what to look out for to limit the damage caused by use.
