  • Grief and Substance Use

    Open AccessCiera Davidson, Laura J Mitchell et al.ARTICLEContemporary Drug Problems2026

    People who use substances are disproportionately affected by both death and nondeath losses and have vulnerabilities that can hinder the processing of the associated grief.

This study aims to systematically review the grief experiences of people who use substances to en…

  • Everything is fear based

    Open AccessLynda Russell, Fiona Turner et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

  • Gender, Addiction, and Removal of Children Into Care

    Open AccessLynda Russell, Ruchika Gajwani et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Gender differences were apparent in prevalence and patterns of child removal. Mothers were six times more likely to have children removed compared to fathers. Child removal occurred alongside other risk factors suggesting that families need holistic support for their multiple areas of need. Services should be aware of the link between child removal and suicide and provide additional support to mothers during and after removal
