Recovery is an individual journey, and it can mean different things to different people.

🎄We all love celebrating with friends and family at Christmas, but remember that the best gift you can give is getting home safely.

Phil’s story is a powerful reminder of how deeply grief can affect us and how easily substance use can become a way to soften the pain of losing someone we love.
Christmas can be especially lonely or difficult for people who are grieving, and it’s okay to seek help during this time.
The Wellbeing Hub offers a dedicated grief service with compassionate support and space to talk.
Find out more and read Phil's full story via our website.

Contaminated drugs are becoming more common and the risks are real. This isn't just a risk to heroin users, contaminants are showing up in lots of different drugs.
You can’t tell what’s inside a substance just by looking at it, even if it comes from a “trusted” source.
Swipe through to learn:
✔️ What contaminants are showing up
✔️ How to reduce your risk
✔️ Overdose warning signs
✔️ What to do in an emergency
If you use, test when possible, start low, don’t use alone, and carry naloxone if it’s available.
Everyone deserves safety, compassion, and access to accurate information. 💛 ... See MoreSee Less
