Lee FitzGerald’s London workshop
I have spoken at Lee FitzGerald’s London workshop in successive years.
My 2023 talk took a broad look at evidence, ethics and practice in addiction and mental health care. It ranged from the US opioid crisis, harm reduction and routes into treatment to the debate about palliative care for severe and enduring anorexia. I also explored how mental health problems overlap and develop across a lifetime, the process of recovery, and the role of client feedback in shaping treatment.
