Great day in Edinburgh @scottishdrugsforum.bsky.social hosting a steering group for peer naloxone with Simon Community Scotland and CGL - peers have themselves reversed Overdose since being trained how to #StopTheDeaths and are providing training and naloxone kits to people at risk.

Busy 2 days @scottishdrugsforum.bsky.social with project steering groups in 2 @scottishprisons.bsky.social sites. HMPs Shotts and Kilmarnock preparing for peer to peer naloxone supply. Sudden showers are no match for a sunny disposition! Thanks to both for supporting this work. #StopTheDeaths

Lynn Raune highlighting how It's not easy to talk about the human rights if drug dealers - everyone wants somebody to blame. Their aspiration is for love, care and family not violence and prison. We need to look at the drivers, poverty, oppression and colonisation. #ISSDP2025
