Welcome to Weaving the Web - the podcast series from the National Expert Citizens Group (NECG).

In this series, we'll be exploring examples of good practice around our four strategic priorities. These are the issues lying at the heart of what's known as 'multiple disadvantage' – where someone experiences a combination of several unmet health and social needs – in England and Wales today.

In our fourth episode, we'll be exploring the second of our strategic priorities: dual diagnosis (also known as co-occurring needs) as NECG member and host Charlotte speaks to Alison Bearn, Programme Manager at the London Co-occurring Conditions Programme, about how integrated solutions to mental health and substance use can expand access to support and recovery.

Coordinated by Revolving Doors, the NECG is the lived experience group for people in the Changing Futures programme, a joint-funded initiative of the National Lottery Community Fund and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government. By co-producing solutions with people who have lived experience of multiple disadvantage, we’re here to shape system change and advocate for services that are trauma-informed, accessible and person-centred.
