Sheffield & everywhere we need to take drugs seriously, especially our politicians. Our communities are harmed by the continual implementation of failed #drugpolicy. Join us at the @anyoneschild event on 6th feb to learn more @DanJarvisMBE @olivercoppard https://t.co/gp2OzZ7OpH

It's been a brilliant 3 days at #EHRC2024 in Warsaw. We've been hearing inspiring work from some passionate harm reductionists - from parraphanallia to policy, through evidence and empathy we resist the war on drugs Thanks to everyone who came to the session on co-production

The language we use shapes our understanding of, and our approach to removing barriers to support experienced people who use drugs - if we're serious about dismantling stigma, words really do matter. This looks great on Thursday ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

1. Getting a group of people with diverse experiences, together a room to discuss approaches to a problem works well... for some people. Finding creative ways that allow people to be involved in a way that is meaningful for them is really important
