Awareness of the challenges posed by mental health issues is set to be raised at a virtual event today. The event, organised by Brampton and Longtown Rotary Club, marks Mental Health Awareness Week, which has taken place this week. Presentations on the work of the Cumbria Alcohol and Drug Advisory Service, laughter yoga and dementia support will be among the information on offer. The North Cumbria Health and Wellbeing Mela has been put together with support from the NHS and other third sector organisations. The word Mela is a Sanskrit word which means information exchange and celebration. Organisers decided to give the event this name after being inspired by the Health and Wellbeing Forum started by the Gujarat community in Lancashire.
A consultant in substance misuse has shared life-saving advice to help reduce the risk of drug related deaths in Cumbria after recent warnings about a dangerously strong batch of heroin in Barrow. Following growing concerns and alerts about certain batches of illicit drugs in the area Dr Patrick Horgan, consultant addiction psychiatrist at Unity Drug and Alcohol Recovery Service, has shared information about the key risks associated with illicit drugs, and provided guidance on how to reduce these risks for those who choose to take them. Only last month Cumbria Constabulary warned the public about ‘a strong batch of heroin’ circulating in Barrow and urged drug users to ‘think carefully about their actions.’
