Hi Friends,

I’m excited to share that my new book, Harm Reduction Approaches with Adolescents Who Use Substances, co-authored with Amanda Reiman, PhD, MSW, is now published!


We wrote this book to give counselors, social workers, psychologists, family therapists, school personnel, and caregivers a practical, science-based, stigma-free framework for supporting adolescents who use substances—and for anyone invested in adolescent well-being who wants flexible, person- and family-centered approaches that go beyond one-size-fits-all care.

I'm deeply grateful to the harm reduction and drug policy communities for sharing your experience and humanity over the years. Your insights shaped this work and made it possible. 

In solidarity,
Barry

Congratulations, Barry! We need more evidence-based resources for adolescents, and this fits the bill.
