Our Message Our Voice

This summer the Our Message Our Voice team have been working to break down stigma regarding older people and alcohol addiction. Collaborating with the University of Southampton we have developed a series of posters to build awareness and encourage reflection. 

One in five older people drink above the recommended guidelines. Older people experiencing alcohol difficulties may face additional stigma, misconceptions, complexities and barriers to support. We encourage all services to consider whether they appropriately meet the needs of older people. 

We are delighted to share our poster series below and further useful links.
