Alcohol Occasionals - Greenspace programmes for problem substance use

Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) and Scottish Alcohol Research Network (SARN) warmly invite you to join us online on Tuesday 15 June from 12:30-14:00 BST for our sixth and final SHAAP/SARN Alcohol Occasionals event of 2021.

Wendy Masterton (University of Stirling) will present her research on greenspace programmes for problem substance use and mental health and we will then open to Q+A and wider discussion.

Wendy is currently in her final year of her ESRC/SGSSS Interdisciplinary-funded PhD and is based in the Salvation Army Centre for Addiction Services and Research (SACASR) at the University of Stirling. She is undertaking a realist evaluation of greenspace programmes for improving mental health and supporting people with problem drug and alcohol use. Her research interests are in realist methods, substance use, harm reduction, mental health, and the health benefits of greenspace and greenspace interventions.

The webinar will be hosted online using the Zoom platform, and registrants will receive a link to join.
