What does harm reduction really look like when you're working on the front lines of the overdose crisis?

In this episode of Full Potential, Now!, Ted Izydor sits down with Mark Jackum, a harm reduction specialist, for an honest conversation about harm reduction, addiction, recovery, and meeting people where they are.

Mark shares powerful stories from years of street outreach, discussing how trust, compassion, naloxone, and practical support can save lives and help people move toward recovery.

In this episode you'll learn:

• What harm reduction really means—and the misconceptions surrounding it

• How outreach workers build trust with people who aren't ready for treatment

• The role of naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and overdose prevention

• Why recovery is a journey built on hope, connection, and dignity
