Harm reduction made sense to me when I realised I didn't need to do it that way to feel better.
Ever wondered how queer individuals navigate harm reduction and community care? This episode of Challenging Pathos dives into the intricate intersections of LGBTQ+ identity, substance use, and the barriers to accessing affirming care. Nathaniel Bush, a poet and advocate, shares his personal journey through harm reduction, addiction, and healing. His insights reveal the complex realities of queer sexual culture, including chemsex spaces, and the vital role of culturally grounded services.
Nathaniel's path is filled with poignant moments, from finding solace in yoga to battling stigma within recovery communities. Raymond Velasquez-Turner hosts this enlightening conversation, delving into topics that are often left unspoken in public health discussions.
