This initiative was created to share information on substance use from across West Lothian, Scotland.

Interviews with parents, carers, young people and professionals provide honest and valuable insights for anyone supporting someone affected by substance use, as well as for those seeking information or help themselves.

 

Our dedicated YouTube channel (please follow link below) has lots of resources and information with videos, interviews and external links to organisations offering further guidance and support as of 2026.
