Recovery Month Podcast Special #4 - Libby Jones, Program Director Overdose Prevention Initiative

Recovery Stories Have Power

Throughout the month of September we’ll be releasing video podcast episodes every week to celebrate Recovery Month with you. We have several terrific guests from all around the recovery field who will share their journey into advocacy with us while sharing info from behind the scenes of some major change making organizations. These conversations cover several parts of the recovery advocacy and activism space, and all have one very important through-line. You can help. This work is not out of reach. This affects all of us and we need your help.
On today’s episode I chat with Libby Jones, program director of the Global Health Advocacy Initiative’s Overdose Prevention Initiative. Libby leads their advocacy efforts with the goal of reducing the overdose death rate in the US. We talk about what advocacy means on a federal level, some of the Overdose Prevention Initiative’s goals, and real steps people can take to get involved at every level.
