Film Screening: Wet House by Benjamin May | A Conversation on the Harm Reduction Model
Wet House offers an unflinching look at life for men with long-term alcohol use disorder living in two managed alcohol programs in the Twin Cities. Through this controversial model of care, residents can consume alcohol in the safety of their own homes while receiving medical care and support to make changes in their lives. By observing humanity amid harrowing reality, the film makes the case for a highly accommodating harm reduction model of care for a disease with complex, individual manifestations.
Join Mia and Catholic Charities for a social hour, film screening, and panel. Panelists include Emilia Lewin-Karras, Director of Supportive Housing, Catholic Charities Twin Cities; Benjamin May, film director; and Virajita Singh, Mia’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer.
