Welcome back to Ep.41 of The Trisha & Dan Show. We are back with a special guest for this episode, James Leonard. James is from Cork city’s northside and spent over ten years in addiction which led him to prison & hospital many times. James finally got sober in 2013 and has spent the last six years in education. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Youth & Community Work, a Master’s Degree in Criminology and is a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Sociology & Criminology, University College Cork. His research interests include drug use, drug policy, desistance and related topics. James is married and has previously worked in addiction and homeless services. He now works at Cork Education & Training Board Youth Services and sits on the Board of Directors at Cork Simon Community. He hopes this podcast can inspire people to change and to educate those who have an interest in topics related to drug use, addiction, recovery, desistance, trauma, mental health and social class.
