The Joint Action Group For Alcohol in London (JAG) has produced a new briefing on Alcohol & Housing [pdf], based on feedback from The Third Alcohol Practitioners Forum held at City Hall on 20th May 2010. The Practitioners' Forums focus on practice and delivery to provide knowledge, skills and expertise to support the JAG deliver London’s Regional Statement of Priorities on Alcohol (here). Sessions at the May forum covered in the briefing included:
- ‘Alcohol, homelessness and access to housing’
- ‘Drinking in the home’ including older drinkers, domestic violence and drinking within the family
- ‘Unacknowledged drinking in the home’ including specialist support for BME groups.
See the Alcohol Learning Centre for more on housing and alcohol and presentations from the day.
