This weeks Community Care, dated 14th October 2010, is a special issue on social workers' needs for knowledge on drug misuse and the future of treatment. Substance misuse was found to be a factor in 25% of child deaths examined by Ofsted in the period 2008-2009, yet substance misuse is not a compulsory part of many social work courses. Community Care magazine can be found at Serials 362 in Jordanhill Library.
Hi Alison,
ReplyDeleteI dont know if you have heard about the National Institute on Drug Abuses' campaign all week to "shatter the myth" about teen drug abuse. I found an interesting article submitted by the Public Health Bugle that was very insightful.
