So big, big, big part of what we do is being good and being comfortable, having uncomfortable conversations.
Ever thought about how harm reduction can change lives? In this episode of 'Mino Bimaadiziwin', Thunderbird Partnership Foundation CEO Carol Hopkins chats with Audra Stonefish, the Cultural Harm Reduction Outreach Supervisor for Chippewas of the Thames First Nation. Audra's program is now in its fifth year and is all about meeting people where they are, promoting mental wellness, and encouraging safe drug use. It's a unique approach that blends cultural practices with harm reduction strategies.
Audra emphasizes the importance of connection and inclusivity in helping individuals take charge of their own well-being and move towards recovery. She works closely with the crisis response line and community wellness workers to provide education on harm reduction and combat stigma. This episode dives into the tough conversations that are essential for growth and highlights the collaborative efforts needed to support mental health and substance use. It's an eye-opening discussion that you won't want to miss.
