Adults with mental illness, including substance use disorder (SUD,) are at risk of dying 25 years earlier than the general population. The major contributor to this premature mortality is smoking-related disease. While cigarette smoking has trended downward in recent years, it is still highly prevalent in adults with mental health and/or substance use disorder (MH/SUD).
Adfam is working with relationship support charities Tavistock Relationships and One Plus One to deliver a free training for frontline practitioners working in London, Bristol and Leeds.
The training will focus on reducing the impact of inter-parental conflict on children in families affected by alcohol misuse.
The Addictions Department at King's and the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies are holding a week-long course bringing together leading experts from across the UK.
