LxAddictions24: Addiction and mental health

LxAddictions24: Addiction and mental health

In this episode Ben Scher talks to Dr Sarah Welch from the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) about her work as a co-producer for Lisbon Addictions. Ben and Sarah discuss the Addiction and Mental Health track, how it was put together and why you would want to follow this track at Lisbon Addictions this year.

This track will cover a wide range of issues relating to addiction and mental health and will include sessions on the relationship between addiction and mental health disorders, the impact of trauma, resilience and ways to promote mental health among people who use drugs, ADHD, autism and neurodiversity, cannabis and psychosis, young people and treatment options.

They also talk about the process of reviewing abstracts for Lisbon Addictions and how the organisers then make sessions that fit the conference and the track. Finally, Sarah provides her top tips for attending Lisbon Addictions.

“For me it’s the breadth, it’s the putting together of people from really different fields whether it’s neuroscience, epidemiology or clinical practice. It’s that big big mix that’s lovely”

Ben Scher is an SSA funded PhD Student at Oxford University

Dr Sarah Welch is an SSA trustee and leads on the Addiction and Mental health track at Lisbon addictions.
