When you encounter someone on the street experiencing homelessness or hear about an individual overdosing in the city, do you perceive them negatively? In this video, DESC Opioid Treatment Network (OTN) Nurse Supervisor Jeremy Hoog challenges misconceptions about those experiencing homelessness or struggling with substance use disorders. Jeremy was one of a panel of experts who recently spoke about substance use and harm reduction at DESC’s event, “Mission Possible: Adaptive Solutions to Homelessness.” Other panelists included DESC Executive Director Daniel Malone; Co-Director Harm Reduction Research & Treatment (HaRRT) Center, UW, Seema L. Clifasefi PhD, MSW; DESC Deputy Director for Strategy Nicole Macri; and Director of King County Department of Community and Human Services Kelly Rier.
