I had forgotten the original pre-Covid plan was separate in-person Scottish and English groups! Silver linings etc ... Themes emerging included systematic failures in services and genedered divisions of care. ...

Good to see @Relations_Study Learning Alliance methodology shared by @DrHannahCarver at #AfinetConference2023. I have enjoyed being part of this wide stakeholder group on behalf of @ScotFamADrugs, incl UK-wide online conversations on key issues.

Judy Warburton @Relations_Study talks re challenges in actually implementing a whole family approach in practice, incl individual focus of Medication Assisted Treatment standards, and deficit-based focus on risk, harm and disproving 'good enough' parenting. #AfinetConference2023

Yes it's getting scorchio in the atrium, but important issues being discussed re @Relations_Study #AfinetConference2023! @DrAnneWhit1 talks re work with parents obsessing about drug test results & appointment attendance. Little sign of outreach or working together with families.

Music to our ears @ScotFamADrugs to hear re others' #Telehealth support, incl Patricia Stewart from Aotearoa/NZ. We also ❤️ 1-2-1 telehealth support - & families do too! We agree it develops a therapeutic alliance & is so convenient & discreet for families. #AfinetConference2023

"To be honest, I'm exhausted beyond words". @EmmiKauppila from Finland runs through a long list of relationship, emotional and financial harms experienced by families affected by gambling. Lots of parallels with alcohol and drugs of course... #AfinetConference2023 @ScotFamADrugs

V impressed at stamina of #AfinetConference2023 crowd. Three high octane presentations to end the day, made my chairing job v easy 😎. Exploring why it is so hard to ask for help, collab with indigenous comms in Quebec & new psychoeducational toolkit from Saskatchewan. Phew!

Things that are helping me a lot to quit cigarettes:
- keep a strict daily routine
- cancel every plan that causes any anxiety
- don’t allow yourself to judge you: as long as you don’t smoke, you are doing great.
- make things very easy for you the first week: don’t engage
