Pathways of Hope is a Public Information Comic that brings together real stories and insights from Glasgow's recovery communities. These stories were shared at Humanising Healthcare's Conversation Cafés with University of Glasgow medical students.
We recognise that there can be many forms of substance dependence, and whilst the themes covered are applicable to other dependencies, this comic specifically focuses on drugs and alcohol.
The comic is structured around five key themes from the Conversation Café's:
- What leads to drugs and alcohol dependence
- The meaning of recovery
- Harm reduction strategies
- First steps to recovery
- Maintaining recovery
