Stephen Murray’s work in harm reduction doesn’t end when he leaves the office at 5 p.m. As the Harm Reduction Program Manager at Boston Medical Center who runs the Prevention Point, he is on call 24/7. Sometimes, his phone rings at 4 a.m. to assist with an overdose.
Still, despite the hours and energy he and others put into keeping people who use drugs safe, he usually doesn't go a month without personally knowing someone who dies from a drug overdose.
