ACMD recommendations to classify nitazenes and brorphine-like synthetic opioids to Class A. Glad to see updates to toxicology also here. Would like to see more proactive surveillance like drug checking and waste-water testing as well as enhanced harm reduction.

We found that OPCs work by providing feeling of safety, trust and social inclusion to people who are often exposed to structural and physical violence, and to an unreliable, unsafe drug supply. 3/5

Always getting great feedback too Kathryn! 👏👏👏 Recommend anyone questioning if they have the right balance with alcohol or #sobercurious book to have a chat with a @DrinkCoach - it's free in many areas and there's lots of tools free to access without speaking to anyone

And I’m one of their Coaches 🤩 Over the last two years I’ve supported countless people to make changes in their relationship with alcohol 🙌 Availability throughout July ✅

This #AlcoholAwarenessWeek is all about understanding alcohol harm. By committing to bringing about alcohol change, we can break the cycle of harm so that alcohol doesn’t stay at the centre of our story. 📰Find out more about Alcohol Awareness Week: alcoholchange.org.uk/get-involved/c…

It’s official, Humankind Charity, Richmond Fellowship and Aquarius are legally merged! It’s been a great start to this journey together which I’m sure the existing strong collaborative cultures has helped, as have the incredible people across the places we work and our workforce

Exciting news: we’re merging with @rfmentalhealth next year to form a single charity supporting people facing multiple disadvantage. Drugs and alcohol, mental health and housing - people’s needs don’t fit into neat boxes. By coming together, we can do so much more.  🧵 (1/3)
