“The people who use our program, the people with substance use disorder, they are the first responders. They are the ones saving the lives. We're just providing the tools. They are the true heroes.” - Hansel Tookes III, MD, MPH, Cofounder, IDEA Exchange
In this video, people who use drugs, people in recovery, and harm reduction professionals impart advice to health professionals caring for people who use drugs. In their own words, each describes how compassionate care can serve as a key step to recovery and to fighting the pervasive stigma facing people with substance use disorders.

What a beautiful message at the end of this video. Its the key if drug workers care or even 'act' as if they care, then more people will engage with services?
