The development of local interface guidance can help build relationships between services and create a shared understanding of how to support people with co-occurring conditions locally.

This Learning Session focused on the development of Interface Guidance between mental health and substance use services.

At this session we heard from three areas across Scotland who have developed Interface Guidance about their experiences and what they are doing to support its effective implementation.
