Motiv8 is running a new series of initiatives throughout 2014, known as the FYI campaigns.

The ‘For Your Information’ project will aim to increase awareness about a chosen topic, with the service starting with cannabis.

In affiliation with this the addiction service has launched ‘Chats’ standing for Cannabis: Help and therapeutic support.

Anyone who needs help to overcome a dependency, or anyone concerned for someone else’s habit has been urged to come forward.

Lyndsey Smart from Motiv8 says the campaign targets the individuals who need the help and support to make a difference to their lives:
