Abstract
Support groups are commonly accessed for substance use issues, but primarily discourage or disallow active substance use during the group process. Employing community-based participatory research, we offered a low-barrier support group for people who use drugs, where sobriety was neither mandated nor encouraged, from a liberatory harm reduction and dislocation theory perspective. Facilitator session reports and participant artwork were analyzed to derive three themes and six sub-themes. Storytelling as a Site of Healing and Resistance explores subthemes of voicing lived experience and bearing witness to one’s story. Peer-Led Learning explores the subthemes of collective knowledge sharing and the consciousness-raising process. Environmental and Bodily Safety explores subthemes of flexible engagement and art as a tool for grounding. By examining the dynamics of a low-barrier, harm reduction support group for people who use drugs, this article offers a rare empirical contribution to an area that remains otherwise underexplored.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
