Committee on Drugs Use

Family Supports: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Cindy Barry:

We do a lot of referrals. All of those agencies are coming together to respond to drug-debt intimidation as part of the DRIVE project. We are getting the same training and delivering it. We are taking a more joined-up approach and some funding was given to the DRIVE project to find an answer to drug-debt intimidation. As others have highlighted, there are a lot of different issues that we try and offer support for through our family support groups, including the educational programmes. How we do that across the board is maybe a question we may not be able to answer.
