We are so lucky to have our staff. Thanks to them, we are able to do such great things. Starting today, we plan to spend time highlighting individual staff to spotlight them and give them the praise they deserve.

Introducing: Samantha "Sam" Childs. She works as our only Cochise County Overdose Prevention Coordinator. We asked her couple questions about work and her life, which are answered below.

What do you do in your free time? I hike, fish, and spend as much as time as I can outdoors. Running above all is my sanity. I love it and I crave it. Other than that, I spend the majority of my time with my family.

What do I like about my job? In short, EVERYTHING! I am in love with our mission and I really do feel privileged to work for an organization that shares my values. I love the autonomy that my position gives and that I can center participants first, with no questions asked. I love helping people and I feel like my position here allows me to do that

Why is harm reduction important to you? Harm reduction is important to me because it centers people as experts in their own care. No other type of treatment does this and I believe that autonomy in choice is what empowers peeps to make changes. I love that the change is what the individual defines it to be. I believe that HR is the way and the future to proper care.

What is my favorite dinosaur? Well, I don't know. I've never given it much thought lol. Definitely not anything violent like a t-rex or raptor. I would want the gentle giant that exists in peace with its environment.
