Peer mentor Stella co-hosts the Young Persons group on Thursdays at CGL Camden.

This week we learnt about Karpman's Drama Triangle, which is made up of 3 roles.

The victim, the rescuer, and the perpetrator.

When we get stuck in these roles, dramas keep on coming. Letting the narratives around these roles go can help us to live with more clarity, openness and honesty.
Our communication will become more loving to ourselves and to others as well as being clearer. Our relationships will then benefit.

Thank you Stella! ☺️ see you next week💫

Alicia and CGL Camden's Emma McFeeley graced the yellow carpet at the Smiley Charity Film Awards 2025 😀

Alicia's film "Distraction Pack" highlights the lack of awareness of neurodiverse conditions amongst the police and criminal justice system.

Following the docudrama, posters alerting the public to obtaining autism alert cards are being put up outside police stations in Camden.

18/03/2025

This week marks Neurodiversity Celebration Week. We are working with the Met Police’s DC Daley Jones to highlight the lack of awareness of neurodiversity within the criminal justice system.

"Evidence shows that ADHD is linked to an increase in early age criminality and a higher risk of aggressive incidents compared to prisoners without ADHD."

DC Daley Jones is the Co-Chair/ Founder of the ADHD Alliance Support Group and at Friday’s event he shared how he is making police custody a more neuroinclusive experience.

At the event we screened the Smiley Film Awards 2025 finalist docudrama “Distraction Pack”, which explores the intersection of neurodiversity within the police force. Film creator Alicia then hosted a lively discussion around the lived experience of neurodiverse conditions including autism and ADHD.

Alaister shared how being identified as neurodivergent allowed him to get the support he needed as he navigated the criminal justice system.

Naloxone is a lifesaving, overdose reversal drug. It can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose while you wait for emergency help to arrive.

The effects of naloxone don’t last very long, so it’s important to always call 999 and ask for emergency help when you use it.

Anyone can use naloxone in an emergency. For example, if someone uses op**te drugs or other drugs that could be contaminated with synthetic opioids, naloxone can help save a life.

Naloxone and testing strips for nitazene and fentanyl are available to anyone for free at Change Grow Live Camden.

If you or someone you know needs support with drug or alcohol use, please contact Change Grow Live Camden on 020 7485 2722 or email Camden.referrals@cgl.org.uk
