We want to empower people to make choices for themselves instead of telling them they're powerless. Harm reduction is about meeting people where they're at and working with them to achieve their goals.
Ever wondered if there's a more compassionate way to tackle addiction? Barry Lessin, a licensed psychologist with over three decades of experience, joins Monica Richardson on this episode of 'Safe Recovery' to share his unique approach. Barry's method, known as harm reduction, focuses on meeting people where they are in their addiction journey and helping them set realistic goals. Instead of labeling individuals as powerless, Barry emphasizes empathy and understanding, especially when working with parents and teens.
He also sheds light on how current policies often hinder effective treatment and the pressing need for accurate drug education. Barry's personal story of shifting from traditional methods to harm reduction is both inspiring and eye-opening. If you're curious about alternative ways to support those struggling with addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective that's rooted in compassion and practicality.
