Episode #11 Adults, young people and somewhere in between

Drugs Unwrapped: The Podcast

01-01-2024 • 1 hr 4 mins

Rob and Sarah are joined by Rin, who has accessed Gwent N-Gage's transitional service. Rin felt that adult services didn't quite fit their needs and they were over the age threshold to access young person's services. So where did they fit in from a services perspective?

Rin used to use cannabis and spend up to £300 a month. They discuss why they used cannabis and what they got from it, but then why they decided enough was enough. Rin also discusses what helped them to overcome their cannabis use. Rin goes on to shed light on transitional services, those available for 18-25 year olds, and why they are different to those of adult services and why they are vitally important. They also talk about their role within the services Youth Ambassador Service, which encourages people with lived experience to help shape service provision.
