Chemsex is a growing phenomenon usually involving marginalised and vulnerable groups.

📢 Our new module opens up this important conversation and offers an in-depth look at:

➡️what chemsex is
➡️the substances involved involved and their risks
➡️identifying the negative effects on people's health
➡️lived experience accounts
➡️clinical review and effective assessment
➡️services to recommend for people seeking help

If you'd like to develop an informed and practical understanding of this topic, to feel better equipped with individuals who have been affected by their involvement in chemsex, you can now access the module via the @rcpsych eLearning hub.

How to say no. A superb article: "In a world that often values compliance over authenticity....we find ourselves entangled in a web of obligations, constantly saying yes to requests that may not align with our true desires or priorities. Yet, buried beneath the layers of societal expectations & internalised guilt lies the power to reclaim our autonomy".
This article explains:
- the reasons why we always say yes
- why we should learn to say no
- how to recognise when not to say yes
- tips for learning how to say no
- different (positive) ways of saying no
- how to deal with unwelcome responses

@Sheraz_Ahmad_ We started with a literal open door in the middle of Camden 3 years ago and people were terrified. ‘You’ll be overwhelmed’ they said, ‘Are you mad?’ We had three security guards day and night. We’re still going. Door still open. One security guy, Stephen, more a support worker
