<p>In this Episode Trina speaks with Dawn Russell of the Anna Liffey Drugs Project about her work as Head of Services.</p><p>Dawn says she’s motivated because she “cares deeply about people who are</p><p>marginalised, who are judged and left out of our society”, and she is “driven to</p><p>work for them to improve their lives.”</p><p>“...I have watched with pride as Ireland proved to the world</p><p>and to ourselves that we are a compassionate, inclusive and caring society</p><p>through the marriage equality and abortion rights referenda. Now in Ireland, it’s</p><p>time for people who are battling with addictions to be understood and to be</p><p>brought into our society, from the shadows and alleyways where they are forced</p><p>to live. People with drug and alcohol addictions have value, they have rights, and</p><p>we have to work for them to be recognised. This is what motivates me every day,”</p><p>says Russell.</p><br><p>To follow the Dawns work and the Anna Liffey Drugs Project go to </p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/pSzw67HovzfHTVKv/?mibextid=LQQJ4d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/share/pSzw67HovzfHTVKv/?mibextid=LQQJ4d</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/analiffey?igsh=cjk5dXh2ZHlkeDlk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/analiffey?igsh=cjk5dXh2ZHlkeDlk</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
