“Our Healthbox has been a game changer for ENSEMBLE’s ability to provide harm reduction resources 24/7. During COVID people were having to re-use needles, but through our outreach (and media coverage) we were able to support many more people beyond those who normally accessed our Needle Distribution Service.”
Deborah R. Warren, Executive Director Ensemble Moncton
“Our Healthbox can supply naloxone in a low barrier, stigma free-way while connecting vulnerable populations to life-saving services.”

Our Community, Our Healthbox

Our Community, Our Healthbox

At ENSEMBLE we believe that <span class="text-color-beige1">through empowerment and hope,</span> we can build a community that fosters diversity, inclusion and health.

On January 23, 2023, ENSEMBLE in Moncton, NB, made quiet history. In their modest overdose prevention space, they launched Canada's first Our Healthbox machine. This happened during a small ceremony. The atmosphere was filled with hope and anticipation.

There was a shared commitment among everyone present. Their goal was to build a more accessible, healthier, and inclusive future for all New Brunswickers and Canadians. This machine was moved to it’s new location on March 1, 2024.
