This week, we're taking part in #SaferCommunitiesAwarenessWeek. All of our services work with people to prevent crime and reoffending. From Dyfodol Cymru and Gwent Drug & Alcohol Service where we aim to break the cycle of substance use to our new MHTR service, where we tackle poor mental health.

Our Through the Gate service ensures continuity of treatment and support for a person returning to the community from prison. When focusing on people in receipt of substitute medication this figure increases to nearly 88%. #SaferCommunitiesAwarenessWeek

We thoroughly enjoyed delivering this Lunch & Learn today and welcome any questions on the back of the topics Ben discussed. Thank you for the opportunity Safer Communities #SaferCommunitiesAwarenessWeek

Thank you for visiting Jane Mudd, Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner GwentPCC - we were pleased to show you around and talk about our work supporting people through our Gwent Drug & Alcohol Service involved with the Criminal Justice System.

Our Home Office funded, Project ADDER Rapid Access Prescribing Service (RAPS) has become the first organisation in Wales to achieve micro elimination for Hep C; with our Dyfodol Cymru service coming in second.

Some interesting, light-touch facts about how the rain can improve wellbeing shared with our colleagues across services earlier today. #Wellbeing #EmployeeWellbeing

Last week, our Dyfodol Cymru services across Western Bay came together for some light-hearted fun at Ashland's Sports Centre. The day included Rounders, giant Jenga and Connect4, and more. But, we're not quite sure what the team are doing in this picture!

This week, our team joined an event held at HMP Eastwood Park supporting women in prison ahead of their release back into Welsh communities. The team gave out helpful information, wellbeing journals and small treats whilst talking about support we can offer them.

"I would never have thought my life could have changed the way it has since that DRR Order I was given..." After serving several weeks on remand, Ashley was given a Drug Rehabilitation Requirement with Dyfodol Cymru. This is his story... youtu.be/CBB9SZzAs1E

Last week, our Dyfodol Cymru Swansea art & crafts group embraced a spooktacular #Halloween theme 👻, bringing lots of conversation, colours and creativity. Groups like this remain so important to the people we support. It builds vital connection and confidence. #arttherapy

We were thrilled when this message came into our @theGDAS Criminal Justice team recently. Our colleagues often don't get to know what happens next in a person's life once they've exited the service, so knowing this person is feeling stronger and more positive is fantastic.

Fel arfer, nad yw ein cydweithwyr yn cael gwybod beth sy’n digwydd ym mywyd person unwaith iddyn nhw adael y gwasanaeth. Roedd tîm Gwent Drug & Alcohol Service felly wrth eu bodd derbyn y neges yma yn ddiweddar. Mae'n ffantastig cael gwybod bod y person yma yn teimlo’n cryfach ac yn fwy positif.

Thank you Swansea University for inviting G4S Community Director, Ben Lloyd along yesterday as a guest lecturer. Ben shared his experience and insights on leadership and management in crime prevention, community safety and the rehabilitation of people who offend.

Earlier this year, we held our first Impact Event the Welsh Parliament - and what an event it was. We, plus several incredible people with lived experience of our services brought to life the theme of the event - Always a Reason, Always a Future. 📽️🔗youtu.be/yZn1udwhBrc
