本集聽點：
★「我曾經對同志、對愛滋感染者有很大的刻板印象。」－怡蓓怎麼翻轉刻板印象來到露德服務的？
★「我第一次知道有人是對我們這群藥癮家屬提供服務」－藥癮者家屬提供的服務故事分享
★「當他幫馬鞭髮的時候，流下了眼淚」－馬術治療經驗分享

怡蓓開玩笑地說：「當初是他害露德沒有工作的。」
露德2018年原本在負責花蓮監獄以科學實證處遇藥癮收容人專案，但是當花蓮監獄在2019找到個案管理師（也就是怡蓓）的時候，露德就從當時的花蓮監獄退場了。

當時的他聽完露德的課，無法認同露德減害的理念，甚至還想說不要再找露德來上課了。究竟這樣的他是怎麼改變自己的觀念，來到露德工作的呢？

聽聽這集認識露德在花蓮的服務～
告訴我們你聽完對花蓮服務還有什麼好奇？

【露德迷因】2024EP4. 花蓮最美的風景是露德花蓮辦公室 feat. 怡蓓／露德社工

As we’ve discussed many times on this show, the criminal justice system has long since become the primary point of contact for substance use disorder, especially in Tennessee.

My guest this month is Eric Bauder, Deputy Chief of Corrections for the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. While participating in an overdose fatality review team, he learned key details about how people were overdosing shortly after leaving the county jail - even those that had engaged with the jail’s successful Behavioral Care Center.  

In the last year, Eric lead the charge in implementing two critical evidence-based solutions: naloxone vending machines and initiating medication assisted treatment during incarceration.  These new programs stacked onto the jail’s already robust mental health and education-focused programming, and the impact is tangible.

In this conversation, we dive into the challenges he faced in obtaining the vending machines, the barriers involved with launching MAT in jail and more importantly, continuing it afterwards, and we finish off with an exploration into what makes the Davidson County jail’s Behavioral Care Center so impactful - especially on recidivism rates.

The data is clear: 18-25 is a critical time for substance use and mental health interventions. This is why programs implemented on college campuses have significant impacts.

But that isn’t to say these interventions are easy to launch.

My guests this month are Dr. Jessi Gold, Chief Wellness Officer for UT System and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at UT Health Science Center, and Megan McKnight, Director of the Center for Wellbeing at UT Chattanooga. In this conversation, we talk about some of the successes they have had in launching harm reduction education and prevention programs on college campuses, overcoming concerns over legal liability, debunking myths, addressing stigma, and solving the most important problem of all: logistics, such as who pays for what. Finally, we discuss what next steps look like. After all, getting naloxone on college campuses and saving lives is only step one.

it's no wonder
got yourself to blame
don't dish it out
if you can't stomach the pain
that's what i'm here for
i'm asking for it
that's what you're here for
don't you forget it
you don't wanna think about it
but you do all the time
i don't wanna make you sad
but i'm gonna make you cry
you don't wanna fucking know
all the words that i wrote
i don't wanna think about it
but i do all the time
i don't wanna make you sad
but i'm gonna make you cry
you don't wanna fucking know
you don't wanna fucking know
