Life-Saving Strategies: Overdose Prevention and DBT Skills

We need a seat belt for overdoses.
Imagine having the tools to save a life or manage intense emotions effectively. In this eye-opening episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson brings together two experts who shed light on critical aspects of substance abuse treatment. First, Sharon Stancliff MD from the Harm Reduction Coalition dives into the lifesaving potential of naloxone (also known as Narcan) and the importance of Good Samaritan laws.
These measures are vital in combating the rising tide of overdoses, providing both hope and practical solutions for those at risk. Next, Lisa Dietz, the mind behind the DBT Self Help website, introduces us to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). If you've ever struggled with managing your emotions or found yourself in distressing situations, DBT offers a toolkit that could make a world of difference.
From distress tolerance and emotion regulation to mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness, these skills are designed to help individuals navigate the complexities of addiction and mental health challenges. This episode isn't just informative; it's a lifeline. Whether you're looking to understand harm reduction strategies or seeking practical ways to cope with emotional turmoil, you'll find valuable insights here. The discussions are grounded in evidence-based approaches, making them not only reliable but also actionable.
Tune in and discover how these strategies can transform lives, one step at a time.
