The journey of parenting isn't always smooth sailing, especially when you are grieving. It's crucial to recognize that you don't have to face this by yourself. Your community is equipped with a wide range of support networks that are ready to lend a helping hand.

We are sharing the visual differences between heroin currently being sold on the market compared with N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene which is being sold as ‘new heroin’ or stronger heroin 👇🏽
12 Jan 2024
We have on-going concern for N-Pyrrolidino protonitazene being sold on the Dublin and Cork markets to those who use heroin. There is a high risk for people who use heroin at this time. These substances may appear sporadically and unexpectedly.

Vaping has become part of society yet we know little about the impact it is having on health & wellbeing. Today we are announcing funding for a project on vaping to help understand the impact. We cannot ignore it & turn a blind eye to health impacts for our people

No drug causing more addiction than cannabis in Europe now (~1.7-4 million with CUD), but @EMCDDA posit that ~97,000 people (~2-6%) seems confused that so many seek treatment
Really!
Our target should be ~10% accessing treatment per annum
