Abstract

This article highlights the need to provide interventions to those with mental health problems who also use alcohol or illicit substances. It identifies a group‐work package that aims to increase individuals' awareness of their use of substances, the impact this use may have upon their mental health and encourages a change in their behaviour to reduce the risk of alcohol or illicit drug related harm.
