Location: Manchester
The Culture & Substance Misuse Conference in Manchester on 23 November, organised by Ethnic Health Initiative, will focus on these issues and a number of other key questions associated with culture and substance misuse.
These include:
Are some individuals and ethnic groups more or less susceptible to addiction than others?
The global and UK picture: What are the prevalence rates for drug and alcohol misuse?
What do we know about the impact of migration on drug and alcohol misuse?
How can we improve access to Drug & Alcohol services by Black and minority ethnic communities? How can we reduce the stigma?
What do we know about the needs and experiences of Black and minority ethnic communities who do access services?
To what extent have these issues been considered in national policy documents and initiatives?
This conference will be relevant to all people who work with Adults and Youths who are affected by drug and alcohol misuse.
Delegates will come from a range of sectors including drugs and alcohol services, education, health, justice, government and non-government, multicultural, disability, research and policy, and from a range of professions including medicine, nursing, social work, psychology, childcare, teaching and youth work.
