Drug Addiction Is Not the Root of Homelessness
<p><b>Laura Guzman</b>, Executive Director of the National Harm Reduction Coalition, and <b>Shawn Morrissey</b>, Vice President of Advocacy and Community Engagement at Union Station Homeless Services, engage in a candid dialogue with host Anne Miskey to confront the prevailing myths about substance use and those experiencing homelessness. This episode explores the concept of Harm Reduction as a pathway toward destigmatizing drug use and prioritizing mental health. The conversation boldly challenges the misconception that Harm Reduction advocates for consequence-free drug access, emphasizing instead its pragmatic approach to reducing the negative consequences associated with drug use. Finally, the segment discusses the interconnectedness of Harm Reduction and Housing First principles, illustrating how these guiding principles converge to promote both public health and social justice.<br/><br/><b>Learn more:</b><br/><a href='https://harmreduction.org/'>National Harm Reduction Coalition</a><br/><a href='https://harmreduction.org/about-us/principles-of-harm-reduction/'>Principles of Harm Reduction</a></p><p>This podcast is produced by Brenda Lynch and Katie Cookerly-Dietrich, edited by Jesse Lumen, with production assistance and music by Colin Feldmeth.

No! Mental Illness is Not the Cause of Homelessness
<p>In this episode, we'll be addressing a pervasive misconception surrounding homelessness: the assumption that all unhoused individuals are suffering from mental illness, largely as a result of the closure of mental institutions in the 1970s and 1980s. Host Anne Miskey is joined by <b>Dr. Deborah Padgett</b>, Professor at NYU Silver School of Social Work, and <b>Keris Myrick</b>, a leading mental health advocate and executive, as they discuss this widespread misunderstanding that has fueled a troubling trend toward advocating for mandatory treatment and institutionalization to end homelessness. We'll also delve into the profound impact of homelessness on mental well-being, highlighting how the trauma of living without shelter can lead to significant mental distress and anxiety. Additionally, we'll explore the pivotal role that access to stable housing can play in fostering healing and overcoming these challenges. Join us as we unravel these complex issues and shed light on genuine solutions.</p><p>This podcast is produced by Brenda Lynch and Katie Cookerly-Dietrich, edited by Jesse Lumen, with production assistance and music by Colin Feldmeth.
