About this listen
In this episode, we dive into a compelling narrative review from the American Journal of Psychiatry Residents' Journal (September 2025) on harm reduction interventions specifically designed for women and gender minority individuals who use drugs.
While traditional harm reduction approaches save lives, this review highlights how gender-responsive programs—addressing overlapping risks like sexual health, violence, stigma, and criminalization—can deliver even stronger outcomes.
Join us as we discuss practical implications for clinicians, the power of meeting people where they are, and why prioritizing gender-specific harm reduction could transform addiction psychiatry. Essential listening for anyone passionate about equity, evidence-based care, and reducing harm in vulnerable communities.
