Today we remember the people who have lost their lives through drug and alcohol use, addiction, overdose, and the wider harms linked to stigma and lack of support.

Every person remembered, was more than their addiction. They were someone’s child, parent, sibling, partner, friend or loved one.

For many families and communities, grief can be made even harder by shame, silence and fear of judgement. Stigma can stop people from speaking openly, asking questions or reaching out for help.

At KIKIT, we believe support should come before crisis. Early conversations can help people feel safer, less alone and more able to access support.

Our support is confidential, culturally sensitive and non-judgemental.

Remembering those we have lost should also remind us to support those still here.

South Asian Heritage Month is a time to celebrate culture, identity and community — but also to have honest conversations about issues that can often stay hidden.
Substance use can affect any community. It can involve alcohol, NOS, co***ne, cannabis, opiates/heroin and other substances.
These figures do not define our community. They show why culturally sensitive, local and non-judgemental support matters in Birmingham.
For some people, shame, stigma, family pressure and fear of judgement can make it harder to ask for help early. At KIKIT, we understand that support should respect people’s culture, background and story.
Asking for help is not shameful.
Support is available.

🤝 KIKIT x Healthy Brum x West Midlands Police x Birmingham City Council

Working together at the Larches Green Park All-Out Day to help create a safer, cleaner and healthier community.

The multi-agency day brought together partners to engage with people sleeping rough, support those affected by substance use, safely remove discarded needles and cleanup the park, and tackle issues impacting local residents and park users.

💚 Through partnership, early intervention and community action, we’re helping to reduce harm, improve public spaces and ensure people can access the support they need.

Together, we’re building stronger, safer communities for everyone.

This Alcohol Awareness Week, the theme is Alcohol and Me.

It is not only about asking how much someone drinks. Sometimes, the more important question is why.

Alcohol can become a way to switch off, manage stress, deal with loneliness, feel confident, or cope with difficult emotions. Over time, it can start to feel less like a choice and more like something we rely on.

Ask yourself:
Am I choosing to drink, or relying on it to cope?

At KIKIT, we offer culturally sensitive drug and alcohol support in a safe, non-judgemental space.
