You’ve likely heard the phrase but what is harm reduction? Sarah Richardson, Program Manager in the Office of Substance Use at Chicago Department of Public Health, talks about the philosophy behind harm reduction, its existing stigmas, and some success stories when utilizing it.
Richardson also speaks about the current opioid crisis, usage of Naloxone/Narcan, and how some local pilot programs like the newly launched public health vending machines can be helpful tools in reducing fatal overdoses.
