Dundee Partnership Conference on Drugs and Alcohol - Supporting Recovery

Road to recovery
This morning I attended the 'Dundee Partnership Conference on Drugs and Alcohol' which was held in the Central Baptist Church in Ward Road in Dundee.

Also present from The Ferry were representatives from Forthill and North Barnhill Tenants' groups as well as our Communities Officer, Carole Jenkins.

One of the themes of the morning was how routes to recovery could be improved and the role of families and communities might play in supporting that process.

This was a most worthwhile opportunity to listen to community members from across the city exchange their experiences of neighbourhoods dealing with lives blighted by the negative effects of drug and alcohol addictions. The feedback received will be used to help inform the revision to the strategy and plans of the Drugs and Alcohol Partnership in the city.
