In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Addressing the complexities of abstinence-based perspectives within Indigenous communities by emphasizing cultural strengths 35:59

1 year35:59

35:59

Navigating abstinence-based perspectives in substance use care can be complex. Within Indigenous communities, these complexities also intersect with the impacts of colonialism. Abstinence-based perspectives may arise or align with Indigenous teachings, they may stem from imposed colonial values, or both may be true. It is important to recognize that there are a variety of explanations for why abstinence-based approaches may be promoted, and that these can offer a healing path for individuals when aligned with Indigenous worldviews. In this episode of the Addiction Practice Pod , award-winning journalist David P. Ball and First Nation Health Authority’s Medical Officer of Mental Health and Wellness, Dr. Nolan Hop Wo, discuss potential benefits and harms from abstinence-based approaches to substance use care. We also hear from Keshia Cleaver, Harm Reduction and Program Advisor with The Four Directions Team at First Nations Health Authority, on why abstinence-based perspectives are common in some Indigenous communities, and how to meet communities where they are at with harm reduction.

Prescribed safer supply 34:24

Prescribed safer supply aims to provide access to a legal and regulated supply of drugs, in order to reduce the risk of harms and death associated with using the increasingly toxic unregulated drug supply. In this episode of the Addiction Practice Pod , Dr. Marcus Greatheart and journalist David Ball discuss prescribed safer supply with guests who have on-the-ground experience. First, we hear from harm reduction nurse educator Corey Ranger, on the concept of a “safer supply”, and steps clinicians can take to make prescribed safer supply programs more effective. Corey also shares some lessons learned from participants at the Victoria SAFER Initiative, a prescribed safer supply program in Victoria, BC. From Safer Opioid Supply (SOS) in London, Ontario, Dr. Andrea Sereda discusses the importance of listening to your client’s needs when it comes to their substance use, including what they need to reduce their reliance on the unregulated supply, and shares some preliminary data from SOS. We also hear from the co-founder of the Coalition of Substance Users of the North (CSUN), Jenny McDougall, on the importance of providing lower-barrier care options for individuals who are experiencing harms from the unregulated drug supply.

Urine drug testing (UDT) is an important part of providing care to individuals with substance use disorders, from confirming baseline substance use to evaluating treatment outcomes. However, many individuals have had negative experiences with UDT. When UDT procedures feel punitive, it can impact whether an individual will continue to access care. In this episode of the Addiction Practice Pod , Dr. Marcus Greatheart and David Ball talk with family nurse practitioner Tracey Day about how to effectively communicate with a patient about UDT and build a care plan collaboratively. We also hear from peer navigator and clinical care advocate Reija Jean, on the impact of negative UDT experiences, and how care providers can build respectful and safe therapeutic relationships.
