Jenny Valentish, journalist and author of the memoir Woman of Substances: A Journey into Addiction and Treatment, has created a three-hour workshop designed for clinicians and peer workers to safely help clients write their stories.

Family and friends can find it confusing and distressing to support a loved one who is struggling with alcohol or drugs, but support is available for them and you every third Wednesday of the month.

This webinar brings to light how we can provide sensitive and appropriate services and treatment pathways for Trans & Gender Diverse people. Including a presentation by Sally Goldner from Transgender Victoria, this webinar will cover an introduction to gender diversity, differentiating sexual orientation, intersex status, gender identity and expressions.

Compassion is a relatively new area of research, largely driven by fMRI studies showing that compassion is a positive state of mind and associated with feelings of warmth, concern, reward and affiliation.

Presented by Dr Stephanie Merkouris, the focus of the workshop is to increase awareness and knowledge about problem gambling behaviours.
