You do not have to be sober to keep your community clean, because we are living in a chemical world and I am a chemical girl or boy.
In this episode of 'Chemical World', hosts Kenna Crampton and Maggie Seldeen tackle the often misunderstood concept of harm reduction. These two passionate advocates delve into the practical benefits of harm reduction strategies for those struggling with addiction and mental health issues. With a focus on de-stigmatizing drug addiction, they explore the history of drug laws and the intricate ties between poverty and substance use.
This episode isn't just about theory; it brings personal recovery stories to the forefront, making the discussion both relatable and impactful. One standout moment comes when Seldeen emphasizes, 'You do not have to be sober to keep your community clean, because we are living in a chemical world and I am a chemical girl or boy'. This powerful statement encapsulates the show's core message: addiction is a complex issue that requires empathy and evidence-based solutions, not judgment.
Listeners will also hear about an upcoming event with High Rockies Harm Reduction on October 23rd, which promises to be a supportive space for those affected by addiction. The episode wraps up with a reflection on how the skills learned in therapy and recovery can be applied to everyday life, particularly in fostering active listening and constructive criticism for children.
Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply looking to understand more about harm reduction, this episode offers a compassionate and informative perspective. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the nuanced world of addiction recovery and mental health.
