She advocates for the principles of harm reduction such as the availability of naloxone, which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Varon is the author of My Brother is Not a Monster: A Story of Addiction and Recovery. Lee worked as a social worker for many years, but it wasn't until addiction came to her own family that her real education in the field of substance use disorder began. Over several decades, she attended parent education seminars, read everything she could about the topic, and was in many support groups for families dealing with alcohol and drug use. These groups became a lifeline through years of fear, worry, exhaustion, and confusion as Lee dealt with her own child's addiction. Today, that child is an adult and is in recovery. Lee wrote A Kids Book About Overdose to support, educate, and encourage other families going through similar experiences.visualizza meno
