Kristi Booth: Bridging Harm Reduction and Recovery

I'm too recovery from the harm reduction people and too harm reduction for the recovery people.
When Kristi Booth first encountered harm reduction at the International Drug Policy Reform Conference in St. Louis, it ignited a passion within her. Now, as a person in long-term recovery, she's championing harm reduction in her community. In this episode of Better Life in Recovery, host David Stoecker dives into a candid conversation with Kristi about the transformative power of harm reduction. They discuss its benefits, the hurdles it faces, and why meeting people where they are is crucial.
Kristi's unique perspective—being 'too recovery for the harm reduction people and too harm reduction for the recovery people'—offers a fresh take on bridging these two worlds. Together, they also touch on the legislative landscape and how it can either hinder or help harm reduction efforts. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how harm reduction can play a pivotal role in recovery.
