Steph Tzanetis: Championing Harm Reduction and Compassionate Care
I don't think that prison is the right place for such a large group of people. It's bizarre and it's actually dangerous.
Steph Tzanetis, a dynamic voice from DanceWize (Harm Reduction Victoria), takes center stage in this episode of 'Straight From the Source'. Steph brings her wealth of experience in harm reduction to the table, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and opportunities within the Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) community. She dives into the pressing issues that substance users face, including the flaws of the current criminal justice system and the harsh realities of social supply and stigma.
Steph argues passionately for a shift towards a more compassionate and understanding approach to drug-related harms. She also explores how yoga can be a powerful tool for those on their recovery journey. Whether you're deeply involved in AOD advocacy or just curious about the topic, Steph's insights offer a fresh perspective on the importance of harm reduction and the need for systemic change.
This episode is not just educational but also deeply engaging, shedding light on how we can better support those affected by substance use.
