⁦Elaine Hyshka⁩ keeping it real with us: many patients WILL use drugs while hospitalized. Neither policing nor ignoring are the solution. Harm reduction is the only way! 📢📢📢

Great way to end a great clinical day! Our paper ‘The Need for Evidence-based Harm Reduction in Correctional Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic’ was published in Journal of Prisoners on Prisons. MB & @SofiaRB_88 enjoyed working with you both!!

Got a hard copy of an academic article I co-authored called “The Need for Evidence Based Harm Reduction Services in Correctional Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic” in the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons! Written by Kate Harland, Holly Richards, Stefanie Materniak, @SofiaRB_88, and myself.

THIS! Harm reduction and treatment are not a dichotomy. They should never be framed as such. It is not 'either/or.' Both options should be available to all people struggling with their substance use *alongside* housing, income, and empathy. #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Don’t miss this important meeting ! New opportunities to get involved in the board 🙋🏼‍♀️
