Re-Solv has received funding from the BIG Lottery for a research project looking to explore the current picture of Volatile Substance Abuse within the UK today. With our parnters, educari and St George's University of London, we intend to build a contemporary picture of VSA and how professionals can best deal with the problem. Please have a look at our Research Blog, and sign up here to receive regular updates as the research advances.
