Dundee Partnership Community Conference on Substance Misuse Saturday 26 October 2013 Free Event

The Dundee Alcohol and Drugs Partnership (ADP) is currently undertaking a review of substance misuse issues in the City.

This review has two overall aims:
- To ensure Dundee City is best placed to help those in need to recover from alcohol and drugs problems and
- To increase the focus on prevention across the city.


Dundee has a high number of people with substance misuse problems, and high levels of the problems associated with substance misuse. Throughout this review, the Dundee Alcohol and Drug Partnership views reducing drug and alcohol deaths in the City as the highest priority.

They invite local residents to contribute to this review and help influence its outcome by attending a Free Community Conference on Saturday 26th October 2013 9.30am - 1.45pm at the Central Baptist Church Hall, Ward Road, Dundee.

Past community conferences on drugs and alcohol highlighted a range of issues, including:

• Stigma of individuals and families affected by substance misuse;
• How substance misuse affects local communities and
• The role of local communities in the recovery process.

They would like to re-visit these issues and ensure they have enough information from local communities to get the best from their review.


Lunch will be provided between 1:00 and 1:45

If you wish to attend please phone ADP on 01382 456126 or email lisaramsay@nhs.net
