The Heart of It
Nurturing hope: Prioritizing harm reduction and supporting diverse recovery journeys
People with concerns related to their substance use come from all walks of life and have different treatment goals, so we have a range of services that help us meet them where they’re at.
In this important conversation, Dr. Victoria Lee is joined by Dr. Sarah Mark to discuss many topics, including treatment programs, culturally appropriate services and why “resiliency” is one word that Dr. Mark would use to describe the future of health care.
