“Adding Fuel to the Fire: the (sometimes) problematic connection between practising law and addiction” with Simone Barclay

In this fireside chat, addictions clinician Simone Barclay speaks to the high-pressure, high-performance environment that creates a perfect storm for problematic drinking and drug problems. Simone’s philosophy is that most addictions or other harmful substance use patterns are rarely the primary problem. Rather they have become a (not very effective) ‘solution’ to the underlying issues from which they stem.  Simone shares the warning signs to look out for in yourself and others, and how you can change your behaviour and support those around you who want to do the same.
