Hosts of the award-winning If You Only Knew the Half podcast interview Massachusetts licensed clinician Hannah Laflin about her work supporting people seeking substance-use treatment, especially young women facing trauma, trafficking, domestic violence, and barriers like limited resources for pregnant women. The conversation draws on the hosts’ lived experience with long-term homelessness and shelters, describing how systems and resource shortages can cycle people back into crisis and expose them to drugs and violence. Hannah explains that a “good day” is when someone asks for help and she can connect them to therapy, healthcare, detox, or benefits, and she also educates healthcare providers to identify trafficking and abuse. They discuss faith, resilience, misplacement of clients in inappropriate treatment, and the value of community, ending with plans for a part two and a song about survival and dreaming beyond poverty.
