In consonance with, Harm reduction can be defined as any program or policy aimed at reducing harm about substance use without requiring that the substance use be stopped. So here is a question. Why not only provide them with volunteer positions? Individuals over thirty struggling with recovery from mental health and substance abuse problems don’t just sit around and collect welfare and SSI checks. Especially those that are over thirty can be just as qualified as those individuals working as paid employees, The problem with it is that today’s volunteers including those that are in recovery from mental illness and substance abuse. On top of that, whenever encouraging them to relapse and give up any hope of leading a normal life, These individuals also engage in everything from volunteer positions, internships to formal education to return to work, unfortunately heaps of these individuals may engage in these back to work activities for years without being rewarded for their efforts;.
These laws may not be enough to ensure that women and minorities in recovery from MHSA problems will be rehired back into the work force due to the huge issue of racism, and the stigma of substance abuse/mental illness, albeit there are laws that offer tax incentives for hiring long time unemployed individuals.
