She works with harm reduction model to meet people wherever people identify themselves on the continuum care use. Kim, whenever you are ready, you can turn your web cam on, unmute yourself, and I will hand this over to you. >> KIMBERLY: Hello. I think I've successfully done it. Can you verify you can hear me? >> SAMSON: I can hear and see you. It's all yours. >> KIMBERLY: Perfect. I navigated the whole part of this whole training. It's cake from here on out. Well, first of all, welcome. I'm really excited to do this presentation. I'm really grateful for NAADAC for the opportunity for inviting me to present. I absolutely love harm reduction. I love talking about it. I could talk about it all day long, so we should probably get to it. I am clicking and my slide isn't moving, so I'll give that just a second to catch up. All right. Samson, the slide is not clicking. >> SAMSON: Just grab your mouse and click on the green E screen again, and then it will give you back control. >> KIMBERLY: Okay. Let's see. And I'm clicking. >> SAMSON: Go ahead and hover your house over the slide like where your name and your image is, and let's make sure I can see your mouse. One second. I'm going to step in for you. Here we go. You see the mouse here. Go ahead and move that for me, and that way we can make sure. Then click on that slide. One more time. We're on your first slide. If you can just go ahead and click right there. Don't move the mouse. Just grab it and click there. I think what's happening is it's moving off of the screen. Once you click, if you can see your mouse around your name, just make sure to move it around your name. I'm looking to see when it will allow you to take over. >> KIMBERLY: Okay. Moving it. >> SAMSON: I'm going to take it away and give it back. Sometimes that works. There we go. Sorry about that, Kim. Everyone, this is on us. We'll get this straightened out there. Kim, go ahead and grab that mouse and click right there. Yes. I see it. You're moving it. You've got control. Perfect. At this point you can use your arrows and go backward. Perfect. Yep. >> KIMBERLY: All right. That's out of the way. We always know there's going to be some kind of technical issue. Always good to get it out of the way early. Kind of first thing is first. What is harm reduction? So harm reduction really originated around the '80s in Europe, and it was largely a response to the HIV and hepatitis crisis that was happening amongst IV drug users. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing the negative consequences associated with drug use. So rather than the focus solely being on eliminating or minimizing the drug use, the initial focus is really on the consequences or the risks. I think most of us in working with this population understand that this tends to be a population that's often marginalized, really stigmatized. They don't always have a voice in their treatment. They don't always have a way to advocate for themselves. >> It's done amazing things in terms of saving people's lives. It's still not incredibly widely accepted. There's still some things about it that feel a little controversial. Some things about it make people feel a little squishy, which I can certainly understand. Something I think a lot of us don't realize is that we actually all of us live with examples of harm reduction every day. Let's look at some of those. One of the things I talk about is the designated drivers. The designated driving campaign is really unique. It doesn't assume that people won't drink. Have someone drive you home after you do your thing. The target is not on the active drinking. It's on the act of driving after drinking.. Another example that is really important in saving lives is nicotine replacement therapy. This would talk about nicotine gum, the nicotine patch or lozenges. For people who are addicted to cigarettes or tobacco or snuff it's the nicotine they're addicted to, but it's the delivery method that poses such great health risks. Nicotine replacement therapy gives people the drug, nick team, that they want, but eliminating that delivery mechanism, like the actual cigarette or the actual tobacco. So many diet books and nutrition box, you know, have this much protein every day and this many carbs and that really ideal eating that I don't know, maybe we aspire to, but isn't always realistic. Despite our best intentions, we will still find ourselves sitting in the drive-through lane. We will find ourselves sitting at the cheesecake factory with one of those book size menus, and when we do, we can make better choices. If that's where we're at, there's a better choice within that we can make. Naturally, we should stop and talk about meat. I am in Texas, after all. My dad was in a hospital. He had a heart thing. He was fine. It's not a sad story. As he was kind of getting ready for discharge, gearing up for that, the doctor came in, and he said, sir, we should talk about meat. He knew meat was a conversation he needed have. What he told my dad when it came to meat, you can have meat that comes from animals with four legs rarely. You can have meat that comes from animals with two legs sometimes. You can have meat that comes from animals with no legs as often as you want. It's short and easy to remember, and kind of funny. Really importantly, it doesn't have the word no.
