I mean it's to the point where you know what I don't care, I don't. Like you know, Mark Burrows, he's really, and he really paved the way on this because there was so much stigma around it. And he actually got an attorney, a pro bono attorney, and it was that you know, because this was actually written into our South Carolina legislation, that this was legal.
What does it take to truly make a difference in the world of addiction recovery? This episode of the #RecoveryFirst Podcast brings together host Mike Todd with special guests Kris and Rose Stepp, and Austin Wright, to explore this question through the lens of harm reduction. Kris and Rose, both passionate advocates, dive into their work with the Jessie Mae Harm Reduction Bus and discuss the upcoming 'Jessica's Walk for Overdose Awareness' event.
They share the obstacles they've faced and the triumphs they've celebrated in their mission to support those struggling with substance use disorders. Joining them is Austin Wright from Florida Access to Syringe and Health Services (FLASH), who sheds light on the essential services provided by syringe exchange programs and naloxone distribution. Together, they paint a vivid picture of the ongoing battle against the opioid epidemic, highlighting the importance of community support and advocacy.
This episode isn't just about sharing stories; it's about sparking action and fostering understanding. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or looking to support someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and inspiration.
