"In my 25 years researching the traumas of colonization and addiction, the best solution I have ever found came though talking with a dog."

Colleen is a faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Past Research Chair in Substance Abuse at the University of Saskatchewan.

"Animals come from a place that is before judgment, because of this, people who have been stigmatized are able to open up to them without fear of persecution."

She has dedicated her life to finding answers to the insidious outcomes of trauma and substance use.
Isn't it interesting that in all her years of dedication and hard work, she found that the biggest problem in treating humans, is humans.

It seems so glaringly obvious now doesn't it?

Just look at the politics.

Tune in to this special event and listen to Colleen #takeofftheblinders with her experiences in substance use research.

We'll talk about indigenous health and addictions, the criminalization of addiction, and how working with dogs on the front line of trauma and substance use has become Colleen's true passion.

You won't want to miss this one my friends as we dive into the research, and the findings we aren't hearing about right here this week, on Hard Knox Talks.

Buckle up!

This event is sponsored by The Whitecap Dakota Government and Agency Chiefs Child and Family Services.
