We heard from experts in the field, including from the centre in Glasgow already saving lives!
And saw very moving artwork made by the families and friends of those lost to drug overdoses - people who might still be here if they'd been offered a harm reduction approach, rather than a punitive one.

It's been a little over a year since I got elected in Lawrence Hill, and I thought it might be helpful to list out what Yassin and I have been up to!
If you think I've missed anything important, either in the to-do list or the already-done list, let me know!

Going into foster care, even when done well, is always traumatic and life-changing. If families can get the support they need early enough, more children will be able to stay at home.
Hiring more family support workers is a key part, so I'm so glad we'll be investing in this! #fostercare #Bristol
