This session was delivered as a webinar via Teams on Thursday 27 February 2025
This session was part of our SMD Learning Series.
Led by Twinkle Choksi, Trainee Clinical Psychologist, the webinar looked at the findings from the report of the same name.
It is recognised that people experiencing homelessness often use substances and may face additional barriers to reducing substance use while living in hostels. This session discussed existing research to address: how do people who use substances experience accessing and living in homeless hostels?
The webinar discussed themes such as living in fear, the power of human connection, the need for emotional safety, and the use of restrictive practices. It was an opportunity to hear from one of the authors of the report to learn more about the existing research on this topic.
You can read a summary of the Choksi and Tickle report (2024).
