PROGRESS Webinar - Alcohol Awareness Week

Join us for an insightful Alcohol Awareness Week webinar, hosted by the Progress Consortium, bringing together leading experts in addiction, mental health, and integrated care. This session will feature specialist speakers including Professor Julia Sinclair (Addiction Psychiatry, University of Southampton), Mike Ward (Alcohol Change UK), Saskia Bauweraerts (COMHAD Lead, Leicestershire Partnership Trust), and Dr Viki Teggart (Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist, Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust). The webinar will explore key challenges in engaging hard-to-reach populations, the application of current alcohol treatment guidelines in clinical practice, and the importance of recognising liver health within mental health services. It will also offer a neuropsychological perspective on addiction, enhancing understanding of the cognitive and behavioural complexities associated with substance use. This session is ideal for healthcare professionals, commissioners, and anyone interested in advancing compassionate, evidence-based, and integrated approaches to care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use needs.
