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.

Heading to the big smoke to speak about how multiple stays in prison informs my work on peer naloxone at @scottishdrugsforum.bsky.social
Caffeine seems to be keeping the nerves at bay (for now at least!)

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.
