The CRISM Quebec Node is pleased to share the second Montreal-recorded episode of Hard Knox Talks.

In this conversation, Pierre reflects on his journey through crack cocaine addiction, organized crime, incarceration, and recovery. He also speaks about the challenges of navigating trauma and Indigenous identity, and the long road toward rebuilding his life.

Today, Pierre works in harm reduction and peer support in Montreal, helping others facing addiction, homelessness, and trauma.

His story is a powerful reminder of the impact that compassion, community, and support can have on a person’s recovery journey.

This episode is part of a collaboration between Hard Knox Talks and the CRISM Quebec Node to share lived experiences and encourage meaningful conversations about substance use, harm reduction, and recovery.
