Griesbach & Associates

Today the Scottish Government published a set of national guidelines for services providing injecting equipment to injecting drug users.   These guidelines will play a key role in the Scottish Government’s strategy to reduce the spread of Hepatitis C.  The guidelines were drafted by Dawn Griesbach, working together with Professor Avril Taylor (University of the West of Scotland), and a group of 18 experts in the field.

In 2007-08, Griesbach & Associates carried out a major national evaluation of ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training).  We have now been commissioned to carry out an evaluation of the impact of the wider Choose Life suicide prevention training programme, including ASIST, STORM and safeTALK.  The evaluation has been funded by NHS Health Scotland.  Dawn will be working with associate, Patricia Russell, on this project.

NHS Health Scotland have commissioned Jacki Gordon and Dawn Griesbach to carry out a learning review of their Equally Connected programme.  Equally Connected aims to gather information about how primary care mental health services can become more accessible to people from black and minority ethnic communities in Scotland.
