Radical Social Work Approaches to Scotland's Drug & Alcohol IssuesRadical Social Work Approaches to Scotland's Drug & Alcohol Issues 
Online Scotland’s drugs and alcohol issues are regularly reported in the press as a national disgrace.

Our eleventh webinar hears from those at the cutting edge of experience: from the lived experience campaigner Peter Krykant whose efforts focus on those at the hard end of chronic drug problems, Kevin Owens a senior practitioner and social worker from North Lanarkshire, and Heather Still a researcher and practitioner from Inverclyde.
