Why don't they just stop using drugs then? Making the case for trauma and ACE informed substance use services.
Andrew has developed trauma and ACE informed approaches in North Wales and other parts of the UK and Ireland during the last five years. From 2018 to 2020, he supported the National ACE Approach to Policing Vulnerability Programme in Wales.
Andrew believes that in order to help and support those individuals with seemingly intractable and intergenerational drug-related problems, it is imperative that services adopt trauma and ACE informed approaches.
