Mainline's mission is to promote health and fulfil the human rights of people who use drugs:
without a primary focus on the reduction of drug use and with respect for the individual drug user's freedom of choice and capabilities.
All of Mainline’s activities are carried out in the interests of harm reduction.
Harm reduction offers people the chance to control their use of drugs and take back their own lives within realistic boundaries.
Harm reduction thus restores human dignity and increases quality of life for people who use drugs.
The experiences and motivations of people who use drugs and the contexts in which drug use takes place constitute the point of departure for Mainline’s actions. Furthermore, Mainline works on the basis of the following norms and values:
• Non-moralising
• Evidence-based
• People-centred
• Authentic - creative and free-thinking
• Pragmatic - we get to work
• Activist
