Connecting with Care Greece

By: Conor Ashleigh (Visual Storyteller,  International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users – INHSU)

Description: While most famous for its pristine beaches and azure oceans, Athens, in Greece, is also renowned for its nimble harm reduction movement, led by a dedicated group of clinicians, advocates, community members and policymakers. In just a few short years, the country has established a hostel for the most vulnerable street-based people who use drugs, a drug consumption room, and the ability to distribute naloxone. In this film, we go behind the scenes of these new services and meet the team who made them happen, and the people whose lives have been positively impacted.
