Alcohol and Drug Partnerships across Scotland (as well as other areas of the public sector) are going through a learning curve to figure out how best to engage with our communities. I’m going to share our learning over the past few years because this might have some relevance to how our SDS peer support efforts might emerge.

I liken SDS in addictions to that new pair of running shoes currently sitting in my cupboard unused. Those shoes offer so much potential to improve my life but I’ve yet to overcome the barriers to actually go out for a run. Unless we figure out how to overcome the barriers, there is a risk that SDS might be the same.
