 MENTAL HEALTH 
AND SUBSTANCE USE

At QuIHN, we understand that substance use and mental health often go hand in hand, and addressing both together is key to effective support.

MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE

Many people turn to substances to manage stress, anxiety, or depression, but long-term reliance on self-medication can negatively impact mental and physical health. It can be difficult to distinguish where substance use ends and mental health struggles begin, which is why our services are tailored to address both in a holistic, non-judgmental way.

STATEMENT OF INCLUSION

QuIHN recognises the strength, resilience, survival, and solidarity of people who use drugs and remembers those of the substance using community who are no longer with us. QuIHN values are underpinned by a social justice framework that respects diversity and difference and we are committed to providing fully inclusive, professional, and non-judgmental services to people of all cultures, languages, capacities, sexual orientations, gender identities and/or expressions.
