Drinkers have 'Christmas mentality' says charity director
There's been a significant increase in the number of people on the Isle of Man seeking help for alcohol related issues after lockdown.
The charity Motiv8, which specialises in addictive behaviours, has reported a huge rise in demand, with a record-breaking 1,600 appointments over the last three months.
Director Thea Ozenturk says for some, stress and anxiety about the pandemic may have led to them turning to alcohol as a way of coping.
She says some are finding it difficult to return to their pre-Covid routines:
Health Minister says work is 'underway' on access road to The Roundhouse
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Private members bill regarding Bishop’s vote makes progress
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
