This week we are talking about services with Hugh Greaves from the Ballymun Local Drugs & Alcohol Task Force and Karl O’Brien from Ballymun Youth Action Project.

This weeks episode is about how Drug services have evolved over time. We talked with a local Drug service provider about how they support the community and the individual, how services developed using a needs basis approach, to fill gaps in service provision.

We also chatted with our longest formed Drug service BYAP about how they work with clients and the level of support people can need when accessing a recovery intervention.
We also talked about some of the successes and programs that have been provided for people in our community over a long period of time.

Highlighting recovery options is a key message that recovery month aims to achieve during the month of September. This weeks podcast provides the listener with a wide variety of recovery options that aim to highlight specific recovery options available.

Remember reach out and look for support. Recovery is alive and well in the community of Ballymun 💜

Thanks again to everyone who has supported this weeks podcast.

Cheers from your host
