What we think
Turning Point's frontline experience of working with adults and young people and providing services across the sectors of mental health, learning disability, substance misuse and employment means that we are uniquely placed to influence government to improve the way services are provided.
We are calling for services that fit around people's lives rather than forcing people to fit their lives around the services they need. This means joined up, personalised services that help people to live healthy, independent lives.

The Crack Report
The Crack Report highlights the extent and growth of crack use in the UK and calls on government and drug treatment agencies to do more to develop services that better meet the complex needs of crack users.
