Community Care & Overdose Prevention: A Conversation on Harm Reduction
This episode, “Community Care & Overdose Prevention: A Conversation on Harm Reduction,” features an insightful discussion with Cindi Sanchez and Juan Ramirez from the Kings County Syringe Exchange Program, part of the Kings County Department of Public Health. Learn how harm reduction strategies—such as syringe services, naloxone distribution, and HIV/Hep C testing—are saving lives and promoting health across Kings County.
The conversation explores how the program addresses opioid use prevention, challenges stigma, and supports individuals facing substance use, mental health, and social challenges. Listeners will also hear about the program’s expansion into Avenal and Corcoran, and how community members can contribute to building safer, healthier communities.
