🇺🇦 The @ukhomeoffice must immediately lift visa requirements for any Ukrainian seeking refuge here. Give entry now on humanitarian grounds & sort paperwork later. Ireland has already enacted such an approach. Continued application of an inhumane UK immigration system indefensible

During the pandemic it's been easy to lose the structure and social contact that we all need to keep up our #MentalHealth. We offer practical support, but often one of the most valuable things our #outreach team offer is a listening ear and a regular chat. https://t.co/iVrIAiD0Lv

@Cyrenians1968 @crew_2000 @Scottish_ddtf If any frontline workers would like funding to apply for training in this areas please see @SMITF_frontline training fund, our partner and funders whom help deliver the Scottish Frontline Network https://t.co/CD4J3u5HpH 😀

Over 66% of the record #DrugDeaths in 2020 were associated with #StreetBenzos. As part of the Scottish Frontline Network, we've been working with @crew_2000 to develop #HarmReduction strategies and with @Scottish_ddtf to inform national response. https://t.co/4tgxH8mgXj

100% this - am very disappointed to see NHS press releases today blaming pregnant women for not coming forward for vaccine when many of us have been fighting for same NHS to prioritise their care for months! @PregnantScrewed

[stellacreasy @stellacreasy]

Stop blaming pregnant women for not getting the vaccine. Many of us fought for Government to make pregnancy a priority for vaccination but the ministers and JCVI didn't even look at this issue until late May. Even then no action was agreed as risk not big enough....and now...👇

In 2021, Scotland has seen rising overdoses amongst people experiencing homelessness, partly connected to the rise in street benzos. The Scottish Frontline Network has been building support for frontline workers dealing with this complex, painful crisis. https://t.co/4tgxH8mgXj

#MentalHealth is a huge part of #homelessness. In Scotland, almost 1 in 4 people cite mental health as a reason for their homelessness. That's why it's vital for people to be supported in managing their mental health and navigating an often ableist system. https://t.co/C9MuqF6npF

LEAP is expanding! There are now 22 spots on the program to help overcome addiction in a safe, supportive environment. With services shrunk during the pandemic, it's great to be able to cut the wait and help more people than ever into a lasting recovery. https://t.co/vsVwTCJhAr

We’ve been reflecting on how important naloxone is in Pleasance Lifehouse. All staff are trained to administer naloxone in an emergency. THN will be offered to every person moving in, during their stay and importantly when they move on @TSAHomelessSvs #stopthedeaths #naloxone
