“When I was interviewing HIV patients, I learned very quickly that HIV was the least of their worries.”
Maryellen is an Addictions Researcher and Ph.D. Student at the University of Saskatchewan.
She has dedicated her life to advocating for people who use substances.
“Our decision-makers have the evidence, but here we are, still dying.”
Tune in this week and listen to Maryellen #takeofftheblinders around stigma in the healthcare system.
We’ll talk about what's going on, why it's going on, and how we can come together and push for a safer way to access services.
“Just because you don’t have a personal connection to addiction, doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole to people who use drugs.”
We couldn’t agree more.
You won't want to miss this one friends, as we tie into the research behind addictions resources this week right here, on Hard Knox Talks.
Buckle up!
