Today's guest is Dee-Dee Stout

We talk about Dee-Dee's history with substance use, her career in counseling, and how she came to the harm reduction concept-- well, "kicking and screaming". 

 

We also speak about Families For Sensible Dug Policy, Tony Trimingham's  Family Drug Support model, and INTERNATIONAL FAMILY DRUG SUPPORT DAY
