And if you are just going to punish a person because they're using drugs, then you've lost the humanity in a huge portion of American and the world society.
Ever wondered if there's a middle ground between total abstinence and harmful substance use? In this episode of 'We Are The Stigma', hosts Melissa and Cody Kreutz sit down with Amber Holt, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience, to discuss harm reduction therapy. Amber's approach is all about meeting people where they are, without judgment, and helping them make safer choices.
She dives into the various forms of harm reduction, from clean needle exchanges to the use of seat belts, illustrating how these methods save lives and reduce stigma. Melissa and Cody, who have their own experiences with substance abstinence, share how their perspectives have evolved thanks to conversations like this one. Amber passionately argues that harm reduction isn't an all-or-nothing deal; it's a compassionate and practical path that can lead to abstinence or simply a safer lifestyle.
This episode is a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation that challenges preconceived notions and emphasizes the importance of empathy and education in saving lives. Tune in to hear how a little compassion can go a long way.
