How Harm Reduction Saves Lives: Rob Boyd on Ottawa Inner City Health and the LPP

Описание: In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, Zach Rhoads sits down with Rob Boyd, Executive Director of Ottawa Inner City Health, to discuss how harm reduction and human dignity drive one of the most comprehensive healthcare systems for people experiencing homelessness and substance use in Canada.

Rob shares the evolution of OICH, the philosophy behind their housing and health programs, and the partnership with the Life Process Program (LPP) to bring autonomy-based recovery tools to marginalized populations.

This episode dives into the realities of drug policy, the myths of addiction treatment, and the transformative role of peer leadership and community. If you’ve ever wondered what real harm reduction looks like on the ground, this is the conversation to watch.
