It's so let's talk about mindful drinking...

🧠 Drinking mindfully involves an active conversation with yourself about your drinking, without holding judgement.

👉 Taking the time to think about your drinking patterns can make you more aware of why you’re drinking, when you’re drinking, and how alcohol affects your mind and body.

If you want some support around your drinking, get in contact:

Today marks International Harm Reduction Day, a day to recognise the approach to drug use that is grounded in autonomy, respect, justice and human rights.

👉 Harm reduction grew out of communities where treatment options were seen to be inaccessible and weren’t meeting people where they were at.

👉 Today, harm reduction services exist as well-evidenced interventions, to support people who use drugs.

How can you put harm reduction into practice?

👉 Carry naloxone
👉 Look after your friends
👉 Review your language and challenge stigma
