Powerful opening A.P.S.A.D on FASD.

What happens if kids with FASD don’t get proper support? By Nic Hewlett #APSAD23

Incredible insights on the significance of the western framework of clinician v client and how it can actually trigger mob. Trust and authentic relationships must be at the centre. It’s is not enough to be trauma informed. We need healing informed yarns. #APSAD23 A.P.S.A.D

An important reminder #APSAD23 A.P.S.A.D

Wonderful to hear reflections about the Golden Era 1997-2014 when mob has a voice on drug and alcohol strategy Scott Wilson #APSAD23

Come check out Poster 72 and hear about our Family and Friends Program A.P.S.A.D #APSAD23

With the new year upon us, the Global Drug Survey for 2024 is live. This 20-minute survey is anonymous, confidential, and available in 10 languages. The annual data is used to identify patterns in emerging drugs of use, strategies for harm reduction, and health outcomes.

Thank for you support. We would love to see more SMART meetings in WA. We currently have 29 but no there is need for much more 🧡💙

We are stronger when we work together. 🫂 Our Strategic Plan launch emphasised the importance of community, as FARE revealed our priorities for the next four years. "Today shows how important our community is to achieving the change we're seeking," FARE CEO Caterina Giorgi said.

The National Drug Strategy Household Survey released last week showed daily and risky drinking has slightly declined, mostly driven by teens, but nearly 31% still drink at risky levels so much more needs to be done to reduce harms. Dr Nicole Lee

Good advice from SMART Recovery Australia See you tomorrow (wednesday) in Monksland at 1pm or Castlebar at 7pm
