Jake has over a decade of experience in frontline work which includes emergency medical services, community mental health, overdose response, and mobile crisis intervention. After working as a paramedic he expanded into the addictions and mental health field. This has sparked a passion for harm reduction and community crisis work. The primary goals are to translate this experience to the general public, while training harm reduction workers and first responders on the frontlines of the opioid/drug poisoning crisis. This podcast uses these topics to dive deep into aspects of human behaviour, the nature of reality, building resiliency to overcome challenges, and the nuances surrounding life and death.*This podcast does not condone any illegal activity. It operates as a platform for education, harm reduction, social activism, and open dialogue for ideas.
