One of the most inspiring visits I’ve had - celebrating success of Routes, providing support to young people impacted by family drug or alcohol dependence & hear of life changing benefits. Thanks to all involved especially young people speaking so powerfully of their experience
A sunny trip to East Lothian today to celebrate the achievements of the fantastic @CircleScot #Routes service. A great chance to hear from our own inspiring O.G. @SFADRoutesYP young people plus national #WholeFamilyApproach commitment 👏👏👏. @ScotFamADrugs @scotgov

Courageous & personal journalism by @hazelreporting @BBCPanorama #BingeDrinkingAndMe. Like so many young women, Hazel saw no risk in regular social drinking with friends (as promoted by the alcohol industry), until it was almost too late. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c30p…. @ScotFamADrugs
