GRID Voices Blog: Implementing a voice for lived experience

Posted on: 12 Dec 2022

David Best and his team from Leeds Trinity University have published their third #GRIDVoices blog; charting the progress of GRID Voices, an emerging group that will provide the voice of lived experience of substance addictions to inform the development of prevention, treatment and recovery services (and the underlying culture and practices) in Derbyshire.

The current blog outlines the second meeting of the group and the agenda for key actions that was agreed upon at the meeting, again held at Chesterfield FC Community Trust, supplemented by online participation from people who were not able to attend in person.
