2012 news
How quickly time flies by and what a year we have had. Some very happy and positive highs and some very sad times. Our friend and therapist, Diana very tragically lost her daughter Serena in August last year, she died after taking a lethal dose of MDMA. Diana has worked with us in the substance misuse field at Ashley House for over 2 years and never for one moment thought she would lose her own daughter in such a way. It just brings home to all of us how dangerous drugs can be.
Both Karen and I are enhancing our skills again this year. I am studying for a level 3 certificate (QCF) in Understanding Substance Misuse and am already gaining a deeper understanding and knowledge. Karen is off to do the EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) course in March, and will soon be able to offer this valuable self help tool to our clients.

June has been a month for training. Myself, Di and Jen were fortunate enough to gain places on two fantastic training days; Managing Challenging Emotions with ‘Purple Tree’ and Effective Listening Skills with ‘The VSCP’. The training provided us with some valuable tools that will enhance our work at Ashley House. I think I can speak on behalf of us all by saying it was a personal journey where we learnt a lot about ourselves!
Next month I will be attending my auricular accupuncture course which I am really looking forward to. I will let you know about how I get on next month!
