Welcome to Episode 24 – This is the third of a four-part series about Harm Reduction.
The series opened with a discussion around the history of harm reduction for addiction and last week we heard Zach and Stanton discuss “Harm Reduction Vs Non-Abstinence”
In today’s episode, they discuss Improvement versus Perfection and explore several domains in which harm reduction can be useful: Addiction – Policing – Public health – Working with children, and more.
And they hone in on the fact that harm reduction is based on improvement rather than only perfection. A quote from the episode:
“Harm reduction means getting on the right track for improvement so that we see benefits in the short-run. Maybe we won’t reach Nirvana right away, but we’re gong to move in that direction. . . “
Enjoy the show!
