Dry eye can occur after increased consumption of alcohol and typically causes symptoms such as gritty and uncomfortable eyes. The symptoms of dry eye can be relieved with the use of lubricating eye drops. In some cases, therapeutic procedures such as Lipiflow can provide a prolonged reduction in symptoms and reduce the reliance on eye drops. You could also think about offering training for members of staff, both to help them in their work with patients and so they can get support if they are struggling with alcohol themselves.
Now in its fourth year, Drink Wise, Age Well is committed to ensuring alcohol treatment and support is available to people at all stages in life, particularly older adults. The group invited key stakeholders and politicians to work with them to co-produce a Call for Change which will ensure older adults with lived experience can have their voices heard and share solutions to improve alcohol policy, treatment and support.
For further information contact Julie. Could your charity use Alcohol Awareness Week as a jumping off point to create change? Let us know — we would love to support you. The Harbour Centre leads and manages the integrated community drug and alcohol recovery services in Plymouth. They ran several events, including an alcohol awareness stand from November at Derriford Hospital, wo manned by the Alcohol Assertive Outreach Team. They also ran an alcohol-free charity quiz night on 20 November at Devonport Guildhall, raising funds for disadvantaged children in Plymouth.
While Harbour hosted the event, most of the organisation was undertaken by service users working really hard on their recovery from alcohol and other substances , and who wish to give back to their community.
A commitment to Change means addressing drinking that is harmful, protecting those who are vulnerable, and supporting those who struggle with alcohol. Police officers and other emergency workers are acutely aware of why Change is needed, as they see the problems caused by problem drinking week in week out. The pressure this demand puts on a service already under strain is considerable.
Alcohol is never an excuse for violence, no matter who the victim is, but the need for Change demands that we both understand and address its continued association with the most serious and damaging acts of violence and aggression.

ARBD reduces your mobility, and on one of the many days that I could barely stand up, I stumbled in the living room and fell through the glass-topped coffee table — resulting in lacerations all over my body.
Firstly I listen to their story from their viewpoint, it might takes weeks before I drip-feed a bit of my own understanding and unique knowledge of living with ARBD into the conversation.
