Poignant but positive event at Scottish Parliament last night, which I was honoured to be part of for #SeeBeyondScotland campaign, everyone sharing, remembering our loved ones & hopefully instigating change. #SeeTheLives Thanks to Monica Lennon MSP Miles Briggs MSP for hosting and all involved
A lovely evening spent at Scottish Parliament for the See Beyond event. Featuring some of our participants and MSPs it was a very moving night.
Everybody knows someone affected by Alcohol & Drugs...

The letters & stories shared at the #SeeBeyondScotland campaign incl discussions about the stigma related health conditions (&deaths) caused by addiction are incredibly sad - there is hope that by sharing experiences, we can be more compassionate & understanding to all affected
Emotional event in Scottish Parliament - people sharing stories of precious loved ones. Thank you to Monica Lennon MSP and Miles Briggs MSP for sharing experiences & sponsoring the campaign. Good to meet Elena Whitham MSP too and hear her commitment to reduce stigma

A pleasure to hear about the #SeeBeyondScotland campaign in Holyrood tonight. We must remove the stigma from alcohol and drug addiction.
Proud to stand with my friends and colleagues Miles Briggs MSP and Monica Lennon MSP at the #SeeBeyondScotland #seethelives event at the Scottish Parliament
It's really important that drug-related deaths are reported in a sensitive, compassionate and non-stigmatising manner. See Beyond Scotland aims to address the stigma associated with drug- and alcohol-related deaths #SeeBeyondScotland #Seethelives
Looking forward to co-sponsoring the See Beyond - See the Lives in the Scottish Parliament this evening, alongside Miles Briggs MSP

Was difficult to do but sometimes difficult things need to be done to try to effect change #SeeBeyondScotland
This campaign shows the devastating impact the loss of a life to alcohol or drugs has on the family and friends left behind.
All these deaths were preventable.
