The possibilities to change are within ourselves, and often it is because nobody has ever pointed that out to, has ever pointed that out to these people, that it's not happening, that they're stuck somewhere and what we do is unstuck them.
Ever wondered how harm reduction can reshape addiction treatment? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson sits down with two incredible guests to explore just that. First up is Bart Majoor, Clinical Director at St. Ann's Corner of Harm Reduction in the Bronx. Majoor shares his experiences and insights on the front lines of harm reduction, from safe injection facilities to heroin distribution programs.
His belief that 'the possibilities to change are within ourselves' is a powerful reminder of personal agency in recovery. Next, Kenneth chats with Candy Lightner, the founder of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Lightner dives into the importance of the Breathalyzer Ignition Interlock Device, a tool that has saved countless lives by preventing drunk driving. Her advocacy work highlights how technology and legislation can work hand-in-hand to promote public safety.
Throughout the episode, Anderson and his guests emphasize the need for a compassionate, evidence-based approach to substance abuse treatment. They discuss how providing individuals with the right resources and support can lead to meaningful change. Whether you're interested in harm reduction strategies or looking for practical ways to prevent drunk driving, this episode offers valuable perspectives and actionable advice.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how harm reduction can empower individuals and communities to overcome addiction and build safer environments.
