“Family support and substance misuse have a reciprocal relationship wherein substance use lessens access to family support and lack of family support can enhance the intensity of substance misuse.” tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Reflecting on my time working with patients I don't remember too much praise from patients for getting the dose of a medicine right, but I have plenty of memories of being thanked for taking the time to listen.

So much work is going on around the subject area to encourage those to get help and also deliver a culturally sensitive offering. Slowly but surely the work around the country is coming together 🙏🏽👊🏽
We've started the process,we want others across the country to join in to build momentum on such a sensitive subject,
