Leading With Empathy In Addiction Treatment With Dr. Nzinga Harrison

The season finale of the 2nd season of the Choose Your Struggle podcast is here! It's been an amazing season but all good things come to an end.

The Season Finale features Jay chatting with Dr. Nzinga Harrison, the host of one of his favorite podcasts In Recovery! She's also the Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Eleanor Health and co-founder of Physicians for Criminal Justice Reform. A true leader, Dr. Harrison is a shining example of how you can treat Addiction from a place of love and care. You can find out more about Dr. Harrison and listen to In Recovery at https://lemonadamedia.com/show/inrecovery/ and http://www.nzingaharrisonmd.com/. *** one note. Jay mentions an article he read that says we need to basically double how many mental health professionals are out there to adequately address the need. Dr. Harrison asked him for the source of that article and he can't find it! So he wants everyone to know he won't be using that stat anymore... unless someone knows where he read it and can send him the study it's from!
