REACH Advocacy© are a human rights based organisation who deliver education and training on Human Rights Based approaches to Advocacy (HRbA). Deriving initially from their own lived experience of substance use, mental health and the difficulties in navigating systematic barriers when accessing support, they work to create lasting cultural change through education and promoting equal opportunities for all.
In line with their partnership with the MAT Standards Implementation Support Team (MIST) & Scottish Government Drug Policy Division REACH will deliver Awareness workshops on HRbA and the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Standards and how they can be implemented as part of a wider human rights based framework to ultimately reduce drug deaths and related harms within Scotland.
Key topics covered in the workshops include;
- Socioeconomic factors contributing to Substance Use Disorder as a health condition;
- Human Rights legislation; practical educational frameworks to use when applying a Human Rights
- Based Approach; as well as MAT Standards (1- 10) themselves and how they all aim to ensure that the human rights of individuals are upheld, fulfilled and protected.
The workshop will be delivered in person from 10:00 – 16:00 (breaks included) with a maximum of 15 participants per workshop.
This has been commissioned via the Scottish Government as part of the commitment to embedding a rights based approach in delivering the MAT standards across drug and alcohol support services
