Pioneering Training & Research for a Better Tomorrow
Involving You was established in 2023 by Louise Bowman and Adrienne Hannah. This initiative emerged in response to the cessation of public funding for the Scottish Drug Forum’s sexual health training, which had been aimed at staff supporting vulnerable groups who also used substances. It was surprising that a decade of funding ended while issues such as the HIV outbreak among injecting drug users, increases in abortions and STIs since lockdown, and the negative impacts of pornography, social media, steroid use, and transgender debates persisted.
