Today I speak with my old friend Taurmini Fentress. A licensed independent clinical social worker with a MPA, she is a wealth of knowledge on the affects of drugs and alcohol especially in those experiencing houselessness. We discuss abstinence vs. harm reduction and how both can be implemented in different capacities depending on the person. Honestly, it is truly about meeting the person where they are. It is at the core of her work helping people. And should be the approach we use more.
