Today marks where we honour and mourn the Trans+ people who have lost their lives over the last year. We also reflect on the lives of trans people who have died due to drug-related death.

🏳️‍⚧️ We are recognise the impact of substance use related harm on marginalised communities.

🏳️‍⚧️ We also acknowledge that groups experiencing multiple forms of marginalisation - such as trans women - often experience the highest degree of harm.

🏳️‍⚧️ We aim to provide a culturally competent service that responds to the evolving needs of trans communities.

If you are concerned about your own or someone else’s drug use, get in touch:

The latest report from the Office for National Statistics has revealed there has been an increase in drug-related deaths from 2023-2024.

🩷 We read this data with deep sadness for every life lost. Our thoughts are with the friends, families and loved ones of the people who are represented by these statistics.

🩷 BDP is committed to doing everything within our power to prevent drug-related deaths.

This unfortunate increase in drug-related deaths calls for further action from authorities to further implement harm reduction services and education across the country. For example:

👉 Wider access to Drug Checking Services

👉 More access to Naloxone

👉 Introduction of Overdose Prevention Centres

Let's explore the data further...

👉

Whether you’re using drugs for the first time or not, start with a small dose and wait at least an hour before re-dosing.

A new city means a new dealer, different batches and strength that may vary from what you are used to.

👉 Test your sh*t!

It’s always best practice to test your supply, especially if you’re buying from a new dealer.

👉 Don't try to keep up

it’s easy to take things too far when everyone’s having fun, but it’s important to go at your own pace. It’s better to go slow than go home early.

Alcohol and other drugs affect everyone differently, so don’t try keep up with your mates.

Today, we're talking about taking breaks from chemsex.

👉 If you’re finding that your substance use is slipping out of your hands, or you’ve noticed it’s having a negative impact on your day-to-day, it may be time to hit the pause button. ⏸️

👉 Breaks can occur both between and within chemsex sessions. It’s important to take time to reflect the impact chemsex is having on you so you can stay informed and in control of your substance use. 🧠
