Amazing panel talking about overcoming barriers to getting help. It takes courage to tell the stories but without them we won’t see change. #RethinkAddiction

#rethinkaddiction conference: First Step volunteer and advocate Baden Hicks is giving a frank and searing account of his mental illness, addiction and interaction with police and the prison system.

When asked ‘what keeps you going?’ Marion McConnell says ‘the drug laws are wrong. Basically, they are just wrong’ as she continues the call for decriminalisation.

‘We need to address the way the media is scaremongering’ says Baden Hicks, in efforts to change our current drug laws. Stigma and myths are huge barrier to change. #RethinkAddiction

Sione Crawford rightly asks how can we safely elevate the voice of people with lived experience to inform the much needed change for alcohol and drug services when we have our current drug laws. It’s time for change #RethinkAddiction
