Transforming Lives: Haley Coles on Harm Reduction and Advocacy

I feel really passionate about keeping people alive and keeping people healthy, so they have the opportunity that we've had to turn their lives around, because if they have hiv, hep c or they overdose and die, you know it's just a bigger challenge with the former.
Imagine navigating the complexities of addiction and recovery with the support of a dedicated advocate. In this episode of 'Facing Addiction', Haley Coles, the inspiring Founder of Sonoran Prevention Works, shares her journey and the impactful work of her organization. Since 2011, Sonoran Prevention Works has been on a mission to improve the lives of people who use drugs through grassroots outreach, capacity building, and state-wide advocacy.
Haley opens up about her personal experiences with addiction and recovery, shedding light on the importance of honesty and communication in supporting loved ones through their struggles. She also discusses the unique challenges faced in Arizona, such as the shift from injection to smoking and the critical need for drug testing. This episode offers a candid look at harm reduction and policy change, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction or interested in advocacy work.
With a mix of personal anecdotes and broader insights, Haley's story is both informative and deeply moving.
