This year’s Alcohol Awareness Week takes place from 1 – 7 July and for this year the theme is understanding alcohol harm.

Are you curious about the impact alcohol may or may not be having on you or someone else? Want to know more about its short and long term effects, its effects on your physical mental health, on families, society, money and even crime? Want to know about units or even try some alcohol free drinks? If so why not pop along to one of the alcohol awareness stands being hosted by our alcohol care team from 1.30pm – 3.30pm at the below locations.

• Tuesday 2 July, main entrance at City A&E
• Wednesday 3 July, main entrance at Sandwell, ground floor by the lifts

What else is happening at these events?

• Free prizes – with information around alcohol awareness
• Sweets giveaway
• Poster/display board with information around alcohol misuse
• Beer goggles for staff/public to try as demonstration of alcohol effects.

The alcohol care team will be on hand answering your questions, offering advice, handouts and signposting to a variety of alcohol support services across the borough.
