  4. Bridging Care and Compassion Through the Addiction Crisis

    Bridging Care and Compassion Through the Addiction Crisis

    In this episode, we speak with Shannon Culkeen, a local registered nurse specializing in addiction medicine. She shares her experiences working with community members affected by addiction and offers insights into current treatment models and harm reduction practices. Clarification from Shannon: During this podcast, Shannon sometimes uses the blanket term "opioids" when she is discussing drugs procured from the street or safer supply programs. But in clinical drug treatment programs, opioids often play a vital role: Methadone is an opioid, and so is Kadian (long-acting morphine).  Other medications, like buprenorphine, bind partially to opioid receptors.  In real life, our views of what makes a drug "illicit" vs therapeutic are never as simple as naming a single class of drugs.

    Remembering Jeff

    Today’s episode of Community Records is a very special one. It is comprised of two interviews Tammy and Christian had with our good friend Jeff Allan. Jeff speaks about his experiences with homelessness, the police and the importance of caring relationships. These interviews happened in the summer of 2020, but have taken on new meaning to us today. On October 25, 2022 Jeff died much too soon, at the age of 35. Jeff was a joyous man with a massive heart and a killer smile. He loved people and his community deeply. We miss him so much and want to share a glimpse of him with you today.
