Many people who experience mental health challenges also have co-existing needs related to alcohol and other drug use.

This course will explore the intersection of mental health and AOD to facilitate common understanding, and shared knowledge bases and frameworks.

Training will support integrated treatment approaches, cross-sector referral pathway and relationship development, address stigma and enhance treatment and support access.

This course has been designed in partnership with the Network of Alcohol and Other Drugs Agencies (NADA), the peak organisation for the non-government alcohol and other drugs sector in NSW.
