Increasing access to substance use services remains a challenge for localities across the country, with 70 per cent of those in services having a co-existing mental health condition. 1

To support efforts to improve care for this group of people, our Mental Health Network is hosting a webinar showcasing how successful system working addresses substance use challenges in specific localities.

Join us to see how addressing stigma has reduced health inequalities; how partnering with the VCSE sector can unlock much needed resource, and how a regional partnership has been designed to deliver holistic substance use services.

We will hear from:

  • Julie Bass, Chief Executive, Turning Point
  • Chris Cunnane, Service Lead, Inclusion No Wrong Door Service
  • Andy Wilshire, Senior Programme Manager, NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight
  • Chris Hampson, Chief Executive, Look Ahead

This is a timely opportunity to gather learning from partnerships that have made real change, and we will hold time for questions and discussion with our speakers.

We do hope you will be able to join us, and please do feel free to pass this invitation on to colleagues you think would benefit from this session.
