Harm Reduction for Teens: Insights from Dee Dee Stout on Hopestream

So when you're, whatever age it is, and we sit down and we're going to talk more about drug use and risks behind that, that first of all I'm going to go somewhere and get accurate information, not the information that, oh shall we say, like Dr Phil or Dr drew might give to you instagram, instagram or a few other places we're going to get.
How do you guide your teen when they refuse to embrace abstinence? In this episode of Hopestream, host Brenda Zane sits down with harm reduction expert Dee Dee Stout to unpack strategies for managing risky behavior in teens and young adults. Dee Dee, recognized by Psychology Today as one of the top 10 names in harm reduction, brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation.
Together, they explore what harm reduction truly means and how it can be a game-changer for families grappling with substance misuse issues. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to strengthen relationships with your kids during these challenging times. Dee Dee shares tips on having better conversations, improving family dynamics, and understanding the nuances between lapses and relapses.
They also touch on AA's stance on medication for addiction treatment (MAT) and tackle the tricky question: when does harm reduction become enabling? If you're a parent navigating the turbulent waters of your child's substance misuse, this episode offers a compassionate and informative approach to harm reduction. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to support their teen in a safe and understanding manner.
