    How easy is it to buy drugs on social media?

    We are joined by Lou, a trainer within the Young Person's Gwent N-Gage service, who specialises in the relationship between drugs and social media. So how do people come across drugs on social media and how easy is it to buy drugs online?

    Why I campaigned for a drug consumption room in my back yard with Judy Ryan

    In this episode of Drugs Unwrapped, we are joined by Judy Ryan from Melbourne, Australia. Judy was one of the leading campaigners for the establishment of a drug consumption room in her area of residence, in Richmond, an inner-city suburb in Melbourne. Judy discusses why there was a need, including finding people overdosed by her back gate, for a DCR, and what improvements have been noticed since the facility was established in 2018. Judy highlights how she ran for local council purely based on a manifesto of establishing a DCR, and was astonished to learn of the support for such facilities in Richmond, given that she came so close to winning. This proved to her that people did care about people who use drugs and saw the benefits a DCR would bring to the area. Judy talks about how the DCR has been viewed by other residents, as well as by a local school, and the impact it has had on public amenities. Judy is currently undertaking a Churchill Fellowship and you find out more about her research and her campaigning work, here.

    Why I set up the DSM Foundation following my son's death with Fiona Spargo-Mabbs OBE

    In this episode, we are joined by Fiona Spargo-Mabbs OBE, author and founder and director of the drugs education charity, DSM Foundation. In 2014, Fiona's youngest son, Dan, tragically passed away having consumed a lethal dose of MDMA. Dan was just 16 years old when he died. Just 8 days later, Fiona established the DSM Foundation, aiming to ensure that all young people across the UK have adequate access to evidenced-based drug education. Fiona shares Dan's story and how the charity, set up in his name, was established and how it has grown over the 10 years to now being involved with 700 schools across the UK. Fiona highlights why drug education is so important and what this looks like in practice, including supporting young people in developing resilience and effective skills to deal with a range of social situations that may involve risky behaviour, including substance use. Fiona also discusses the play based on the real events that led to Daniel's death, 'I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won't Die' that has been studied, taught and performed in schools, colleges and community youth theatres across the UK, Australia, Tasmania and Vancouver, as well as performed at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 2018 by Lloyd Theatre Arts.

    Support. Don't Punish. The Global Day of Action with Juan Fernández Ochoa

    In this episode, we are joined by Juan Fernández Ochoa, the Campaigns and Communications Officer at the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC). Juan leads on the development of the Support. Don't Punish campaign, a global grassroots-centred initiative in support of harm reduction and drug policies that prioritise public health and human rights.
