Steph Tzanetis from DanceWize (Harm Reduction Victoria) takes center stage in this episode of 'Straight From the Source'. Steph shares her journey in the harm reduction field, tackling some of the biggest challenges faced by people who use substances. Her work is not just about minimizing harm but also about fostering understanding and compassion in a world that often stigmatizes substance use. She dives into the need for evidence-based approaches and the hurdles posed by conflicting government policies.

Through heartfelt stories and candid discussions, she sheds light on the impact of criminalization on drug users and the importance of self-love in marginalized communities.
