10:00 am: Scottish Drug Deaths Taskforce: Research Fund Dissemination Event10:00 am: Scottish Drug Deaths Taskforce: Research Fund Dissemination Event – 
Online In 2020, the Scottish Drug Deaths Taskforce sought research proposals to contribute to the evidence base on interventions to reduce drug-related deaths and overdose, the experience of people who are most at risk and the services which support them. As the Taskforce prepares to publish its final report and recommendations this summer, the DRNS is supporting two online events showcasing the work and findings of projects funded through that Research Fund. On the 7th June 10am-12pm, the first of the events will take place which will focus on the broad theme of “Reducing Risk” which includes projects around improving service provision and addressing complex needs.

Drug use and parenting support - a conversation about powerDrug use and parenting support - a conversation about power 
Online A safe space for parents, practitioners, policy-makers and researchers to discuss and reflect on drug use and family life. In this seminar, our speakers reflect on issues of power, parental drug use, and services who support families affected by it. Drawing on ongoing research with families affected by parental drug use, and some of the health and social care services who work with those families, this seminar explores how ‘power’ is felt and used by both parents and services. We will think about different ways that power might be understood and negotiated by those involved – to what extent people feel in control of what is going on, if and how this may change, and why it might need to. 9:30 am: Effective service evaluation: An Introduction session for third sector orgs9:30 am: Effective service evaluation: An Introduction session for third sector orgs – 
Fri, 10 June 2022 DRNS is aware of the excellent work being done by third sector organisations across Scotland to support people that use drugs.

To help you do this, DRNS is delighted to announce this event run by Evaluation Support Scotland, who have great expertise in supporting others with their evaluation activities. The three-hour session will run on the morning of the 10th June 9:30am-12:30pm. 6:00 pm: BDP Volunteering Open Information Session6:00 pm: BDP Volunteering Open Information Session –

Alcohol Focus Scotland and Alcohol Marketing Expert Network Report LaunchAlcohol Focus Scotland and Alcohol Marketing Expert Network Report Launch 
Online Join Alcohol Focus Scotland and the Alcohol Marketing Expert Network for the online launch of their new report. Exposure to alcohol marketing causes consumption. It encourages positive attitudes towards alcohol, influences our drinking behaviour and creates a culture where regular alcohol consumption is considered normal and desirable. At the same time, alcohol causes more than 200 diseases and conditions, and someone loses their life to alcohol somewhere in the world every ten seconds. This new report presents evidence of the impact of alcohol marketing on people with (or at risk of) an alcohol problem, children and young people, and the general population. |
