Grab a Shovel, Treat the Soil

This extended version of Jarmichael’s NATCON25 TED-Style Talk explores the challenges faced by people who use drugs (PWUD) and those seeking treatment. The talk examines the lasting impact of the failed War on Drugs and invites us to consider what’s possible when we shift our focus, when we “treat the soil.” Through holistic care, collaborative action, and courageous leadership, Jarmichael challenges communities to cultivate environments where healing, equity, and better outcomes can truly take root.

The Humanitarian Response to Substance Use Disorders

The language we use has remarkable impacts on how society views mental health and substance use disorders. Whether you are a person in recovery, a family member of a person in recovery, or an ally like him, Jarmichael believes that when we change our language, we can change our culture. We are Change Agents.

Standing alongside friend and colleague, Khrecia Holley, CPSS, examining the cultural & systemic barriers that prevent members of the Black Community from entering “recovery” in more traditional fashions.
