Artists, Youth, and Harm Reduction: A Deep Dive with Dr. John P Pasagiannis

Behaviors that we're trying to learn right are new behaviors, and people learn them and apply them at a different pace, right, and I encourage them to give themselves time to practice these behaviors so that they can internalize them and learn them.
Art and substance use often intersect in surprising ways, especially among young adults. In this engaging episode of Harm Reduction Radio, Kenneth Anderson sits down with Dr. John P Pasagiannis to explore this very connection. Dr. Pasagiannis brings a wealth of experience in the field, sharing his unique insights on how harm reduction strategies can be tailored to the artistic community and younger demographics.
The conversation flows through various intriguing topics, such as the link between the music scene and counterculture, the specific challenges faced by artists and young adults dealing with substance use, and the critical role of developing effective coping skills. Dr. Pasagiannis also touches on dual diagnosis, co-occurring disorders, and smoking cessation, providing practical advice on managing these complex issues. He emphasizes that learning new behaviors is a gradual process, requiring patience and practice.
This episode offers a thoughtful perspective on how harm reduction can serve as a powerful tool for those navigating substance use, helping them lead more fulfilling lives. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that sheds light on the transformative potential of harm reduction.
