  • Summary

  • For this episode of Beyond Substance we will focus on what harm reduction efforts look like in Marion County.

    Hosted By Dean Babcock and Jodi Miller

    Guests:
      • Madison Weintraut is the Assistant Administrator of Infectious Disease at Marion County Public Health Department. Madison’s passion for the intersect of hepatitis C and substance use disorder placed her at the forefront of efforts to establish Indianapolis’ first legal syringe services program in 2018. The Safe Syringe Access and Support program has since served nearly 2000 unique clients on their path to health and wellness.
      • John Lee is credentialed as a CAPRC II-FS/GS, CCHW, and is currently continuing his education in Addiction Studies through Ivy Tech Community College. As a person in long term recovery from Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder, John works to promote Recovery and advocates for others suffering from the same stigma-related issues he dealt with in his journey. His personal experiences are what motivate him and his work in the recovery field.
