Rethinking Zero Tolerance: Dr. Stephanie Rose on Empathy and Recovery

We brought Narcan on to campus, we're trying to get it trained and into other campuses that have residential living, and then we march the capitol.
What if the policies meant to protect us are actually causing more harm? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Recover Yourself', host MartinJon sits down with Dr. Stephanie Rose, an assistant professor at The University of Central Arkansas, to challenge the effectiveness of zero tolerance policies. Dr. Rose unpacks how these rigid rules, much like trickle-down economics, often miss the mark and create a cycle of harm rather than healing. With a focus on addiction and recovery, Dr.
Rose highlights the damaging effects of cultural stigma and the pressing need for empathy and support within our communities. She paints a vivid picture of how zero tolerance policies fail, especially for vulnerable groups like pregnant women and individuals in positions of power who are too afraid to seek help. The conversation delves into the importance of addressing fetal alcohol syndrome and fostering a more inclusive environment for those battling addiction. Dr.
Rose's insights are not just academic; they are a call to action for anyone interested in creating a more compassionate society. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction and the critical role empathy plays in recovery. So, if you're ready to rethink what you know about zero tolerance and its impact, tune in and join the conversation.
