Poignant but positive event at Scottish Parliament last night, which I was honoured to be part of for #SeeBeyondScotland campaign, everyone sharing, remembering our loved ones & hopefully instigating change. #SeeTheLives Thanks to Monica Lennon MSP Miles Briggs MSP for hosting and all involved
So proud to have worked on this project with such amazing people!
This is what parents wish they would have known when their children were still alive.
A drug crisis is killing the people we love.
We’ve stayed quiet long enough.

Petra Shulz of Edmonton lost her son to the #opioidcrisis in 2014. He was 25. She's written a letter to Danny, and she wants you to hear it, too. But she does not want your tears. She wants action. see-beyond.ca/petra #yeg #SeeTheLives #harmreduction Moms Stop The Harm (MSTH)

Four parents share what they wish they could tell their kids if they were still alive, and their solutions for the overdose crisis. Powerful! It is through these stories that we can shift the narrative about substance use and mental health. #SeeTheLives see-beyond.ca
The Garden Lobby Scottish Parliament is a huge and cavernous space, but tonight it was filled to the rafters with messages of love, kindness, compassion, solidarity, humanity, acceptance and honesty. And we could #SeeTheLives everywhere we looked. ❤️❤️❤️. #SeeBeyondScotland Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs
