I think a lot of personal stuff has been lost through all of this and I just hope we get it back.
Imagine trying to provide essential support to a community in the midst of a global pandemic. That’s exactly what Jane, a peer worker at Harm Reduction Victoria, faced as COVID-19 turned the world upside down. In this episode of 'Straight From the Source', Jane opens up about the whirlwind of challenges and changes that hit harm reduction services during lockdown.
From adjusting how advice is delivered to maintaining trust and rapport with clients, Jane offers a raw look at the frontlines of harm reduction during an unprecedented time. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Jane also shares glimmers of hope and positivity, showing how resilience and adaptability can shine through even the toughest times. Whether you’re directly affected by addiction or simply interested in how services adapt under pressure, Jane’s story is both eye-opening and inspiring.
