Experiencing dependance on drugs and alcohol and homelessness in a Pandemic

Abstract


I work as a relief Support Worker at a Homeless Hostel, in Edinburgh. Along with a committed staff team, I support those people experiencing dependence on drugs and alcohol and are homeless. The agency I work for is at this time rewriting their approach to such a cohort in, what I consider to be, a very enlightened, progressive and compassionate way.
