So you argue: yeah, right, well, it's not like. They weren't protesting us there, but they kind of stopped us in the corner of this parking lot where no one would ever know we were even there.
Imagine a world where everyone has access to the health services they need, right when they need them. In this episode of 'Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Cast', hosts Christian and Nic sit down with Joshua McLenithan from the Grand Rapids Red Project to explore this vision. Joshua, a dedicated recovery coach, shares the impactful work his organization does to improve health, reduce risks, and prevent HIV in their community.
Since 1998, the Grand Rapids Red Project has been a lifeline for many, offering tools, information, and resources that empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives. Joshua dives into the concept of harm reduction and its critical role in recovery, shedding light on how it intersects with traditional recovery methods. The discussion touches on community outreach, the importance of accessible healthcare, and the persistent stigma surrounding substance use.
Joshua also shares his thoughts on law enforcement's role and the movement towards drug decriminalization. This episode is a deep dive into the practicalities of harm reduction and its potential to transform lives. Whether you're new to recovery or supporting someone on their journey, Joshua's insights offer valuable perspectives on creating a healthier, more inclusive community.
