Fire with Fire: Peer Mentors Leading the Charge in Harm Reduction

Our message and our goal remains the same- is to protect our relatives and protect each other.
What happens when community members take the reins in tackling substance misuse? 'Fire with Fire' in Treaty 1 Territory Manitoba is answering that question with remarkable results. This episode of 'Mino Bimaadiziwin' dives into the innovative harm reduction strategies employed by this grassroots organization, featuring three dedicated guests who are making a real difference.
Allen Contois, Project Coordinator and proud member of the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, joins Tahl East, mental wellness programs manager and developer, and Helene San Pedro, Tribal Health Educator for Harm Reduction. Together, they shed light on their peer mentorship approach, which equips community members with the tools and knowledge to support those struggling with opioid and meth addiction. You'll hear about quick response teams, tailored education, and the power of lived experience in fostering healthier outcomes.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in effective, community-driven solutions to substance misuse.
