Highlights the need to provide interventions to people with mental health problems who also use alcohol or drugs. It identifies a group-work package that aims to increase individuals' awareness of their use of substances, the impact this may have upon their mental health and encourages a change in their behaviour to reduce the risk of alcohol or drug related harm. The alcohol awareness group runs over three, on hour sessions and provides individuals with information on alcohol, its use, and the effects of alcohol on a person's physical, mental and social health.
