July's Connect & Learn session aims to synthesise and translate new research that has examined a broad range of AOD treatment providers’ views about the brain disease model of addiction (BDMA) and its clinical impact.

This talk will examine challenges facing shift workers, and the organisations that rely on them, examine how to assess problems associated with shift work, and discuss opportunities for intervention.

Working with cognitively impaired clients can be a significant challenge, particularly when access to assessment services and resources are limited. *Participants must have attended the first workshop in 2017, 2018 or 2019.

This workshop will provide participants with an update of what we know about the risks of suicide in alcohol and drug treatment seeking populations as well as presenting evidence-based risk assessment and prevention interventions most likely to be effective for this group.

In this workshop, we will introduce key topics to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of sleep in relation to AOD use and mood disturbance.

This advanced practitioner session will improve participants’ confidence and techniques in one on one counselling skills through an LGBTI lens.
