Welcome to Gang Culture. This week we are joined by harm reductionist Leslie Palladino. Leslie is the Director of Overdose Prevention and Outreach at Impact Life, where she oversees youth programming, street outreach, and community-based health initiatives. She also leads prevention-focused youth programs that combine education, peer support, and one-on-one case management, while also coordinating outreach efforts that serve individuals actively navigating substance use and housing instability. Our regular host Ellis Rouse was unavailable for this interview so Gang Culture producer Matt Kelly filled in as this week’s host. We are honored to have Leslie on this week.
