Harm reduction actually works because we got well over people that I could think of right now that are not causing harm to themselves by injecting drugs, and are living productive and a quality-filled life. That's what fills my heart, even though I went through all the stuff I went through in the beginning.
What does it take to turn a life of addiction into one of advocacy? In this episode of 'Sparked', Kira Swensen sits down with Mike Prado, the founder of West Texas Harm Reduction, to uncover his compelling story. Mike opens up about his own struggles with drug use and addiction, offering a raw and honest account of his journey to recovery. But that's just the beginning.
He dives into the heart of harm reduction, explaining how his organization is making a real difference in Abilene, Texas. From preventing overdose deaths to controlling infections, Mike sheds light on the compassionate efforts aimed at helping those in need. Ever wondered if harm reduction is right for your community? This episode addresses that question head-on, providing valuable insights into the benefits and importance of mental health in substance use.
Mike's passion for advocacy and his message of hope are bound to inspire listeners to consider harm reduction initiatives in their own areas. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about harm reduction, this episode offers a heartfelt and informative look into the power of compassion and community support.
