Neath Port Talbot & Swansea Substance Use Alliance - Market Place Event

Description

The Area Planning Board (APB) is a strategic partnership of all agencies across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot who are committed to tackling and reducing the harms associated with substance use. The Board is responsible for the monitoring, planning and development of treatment services, coordinating funding from the Welsh Government and other sources to ensure that people have access to services that meet their needs and are designed to improve their personal wellbeing.The Area Planning Board has taken the decision to embark on a programme of transformation to improve service provision and will aim to create an integrated Public Health approach to the prevention of and treatment for substance use.The new ‘whole system approach’ will include replacing the current range of substance use services through commissioning a new integrated highly visible, accessible and effective substance use service that delivers integrated treatment and support to meet the needs of the diverse population of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.As a result, we are bringing together a range of stakeholders to explore the potential for collaboration. We are bringing together providers of substance use related services and partners to share what they do with each other and consider the opportunities for future collaboration.We welcome providers of substance use services to attend the face to face market place event on 11th July in Neath Town Hall (Hall 1 2 Church Place, Neath, Neath Port Talbot, SA11 3LL)If you would like to attend, please email the following address: l.cooper-smith@npt.gov.uk
