Laura Guzman, Executive Director of the National Harm Reduction Coalition, and Shawn Morrissey, Vice President of Advocacy and Community Engagement at Union Station Homeless Services, engage in a candid dialogue with host Anne Miskey to confront the prevailing myths about substance use and those experiencing homelessness. This episode explores the concept of Harm Reduction as a pathway toward destigmatizing drug use and prioritizing mental health. The conversation boldly challenges the misconception that Harm Reduction advocates for consequence-free drug access, emphasizing instead its pragmatic approach to reducing the negative consequences associated with drug use. Finally, the segment discusses the interconnectedness of Harm Reduction and Housing First principles, illustrating how these guiding principles converge to promote both public health and social justice.
