Who We Are
Just Helping Out LLC is a community-based social enterprise uniting strategy and creativity to build equitable systems for harm reduction, public health, and community care.
Founded on the belief that compassion should guide how we design and deliver health systems, Just Helping Out began as one act of helping — a response to unmet needs that grew into a broader mission of equity and sustainability.
What started as one person’s commitment to show up for others has become the groundwork for a movement — building systems of care that honor dignity, empathy, and sustainability, and creating space for future collaboration with those who share this vision.
Our Story
Just Helping Out was born out of lived community experience — seeing firsthand how stigma, limited resources, and systemic barriers make care more complicated to reach. Instead of accepting those gaps, we began bridging them through connection, creativity, and compassion.
Our founder’s journey through harm reduction and art-for-change work inspired a new approach: blending consulting, education, and creative advocacy to make care more human and systems more responsive.
Just Helping Out is still growing — but the mission remains steady: to make care equitable, compassionate, and accessible in every community.
Our Mission
To advance equitable, stigma-free care through harm reduction, capacity building, and creative engagement — bridging systemic gaps so that every community can access the care it deserves.
Through consulting, training, and creative advocacy, we help organizations and changemakers design initiatives that center empathy, respect lived experience, and promote long-term public health impact.
Our Vision
A world where harm reduction and health equity are not just programs, but principles woven into the fabric of every community.
We envision systems built on compassion, sustained by collaboration, and guided by the belief that care should be accessible to all — regardless of circumstance, funding, or stigma.
