 Alcohol Awareness week commences
19th November 2012: This year's theme: It’s time to talk about drinking One of the nation’s defining features is that people love to talk about drinking – but are we having the right kind of conversation? Alcohol Concern has a set the theme 'it’s time to talk about drinking' for Alcohol Awareness Week. This gives great flexibility to have all kinds of conversations about the health risks, social problems, stigmas and taboos associated with talking about the dangers of alcohol. It also allows local groups to focus on different areas. Conversation starter cards, fact sheets/posters can be down loaded from http://www.alcoholconcern.org.uk/campaign/alcohol-awareness-week Wendy Surtees (South Tyneside PCT ) has hard copies of the fact sheet which she will be circulating next week. The fact sheets are not specific to AWW so can be used outside of this timeframe. For more info please contact Wendy 0191 2831068
