Influencing Substance Use w/guest, Maryellen Gibson. Phoenix Fire Ep. 33

Published: Nov. 16, 2022, noon

"I've seen the harms that substance use causes in the communities around me and always felt like I could make a change."

Maryellen is a substance use researcher out of the department of sociology at the University of Saskatchewan.

"My education in public health and sociology has given me an edge when it comes to seeking solutions for people who use drugs."

Join us this week and listen to Maryellen talk about the challenges that so often go unnoticed in our society for people who use substances. Why she does what she does, and about some of her more recent endeavors in increasing supports and bringing animals into the conversation when it comes to healing from PTSD and Substance use disorder.
