Join Wayne Swanson, director of the largest "dual-diagnosis" mental health and substance use disorder treatment team in Kitsap County to learn about the latest treatment practices, including harm reduction and the "no wrong door" approach.
Wayne will discuss how harm reduction strategies like needle exchanges and safe injection sites can co-exist with and have a positive impact on treatment, how challenging old assumptions can improve outcomes, and how to support people you care about in their recovery journey. A Q&A will follow.
This is the first event in a planned Kitsap Mental Health Services (KMHS) Community Education Series.
