COVID-19 - Responding to Mental Health and Isolation in the Pandemic

Scottish Drug Forum's fourth free COVID-19 webinar will focus on mental health among people who use substances during the pandemic.

The current COVID-19 situation presents unique challenges for people who use alcohol and other drugs and who experience poor mental health. They are particular risk group with very specific needs and are perhaps most at risk of loneliness and isolation. Difficult feelings can make it easy for substance use to escalate or for people to relapse. 

This webinar seeks to provide an opportunity to discuss the current challenges of supporting people who use substances and who may experience poor mental health during this time and bring together best practice on responding to clients faced with loneliness and isolation. This is an opportunity to hear from a range of speakers from around Scotland and ask questions of the panel.
