Project Prevention: Controversy and Compassion in Addiction Management

She's not only talking the talk, but she's also walking the walk. That's amazing, and she's somebody who now has dedicated a lot of time and energy into doing something about it in the way that she's thinking, which is well, maybe we can prevent some of these tragedies because there's not enough parents adopting.
How far would you go to prevent the cycle of addiction from impacting future generations? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Couch Live', hosts Lui Delgado and Trinity Phillips dive into the contentious world of Project Prevention. This non-profit, spearheaded by Barbara Harris, offers $300 to active addicts to either get long-term birth control or undergo sterilization. The idea has sparked heated debates, with some praising it as a practical solution and others condemning it as exploitative.
Delgado and Phillips don't shy away from the tough questions, examining both the mission and the backlash surrounding Harris' approach. They also discuss the broader implications for addicts, touching on themes of vulnerability, stigma, and the complex intersection of addiction and parenthood. Alternatives to Project Prevention are considered, offering a well-rounded look at this divisive issue. Tune in for a conversation that promises to challenge your views and deepen your understanding of addiction recovery.
