Keeping a long-term job despite addiction
Shortly after a controlled distribution centre was opened in Bern, Evelyn G. was one of the first to join the heroin programme. She pulled herself together, moved into a co-op residence and worked in various sheltered projects. Two years later she got an apartment of her own. Her work situation has stabilised and Evelyn has been an employee at a Bern cooperative restaurant for a number of years. Swissinfo visited Evelyn at work. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
