How do substances and mental health mix?
What is the function of addiction?
How can we have better conversations about drug and alcohol use?
We’re going to think about the emotional, physical, cultural and societal ideas around drugs, alcohol and what it all means in relation to mental health (without the stigma and judgement that often comes with talking about these experiences).
Through sharing a variety of lived and professional experiences, we explore ways to have compassionate conversations around drugs and alcohol, whether you are facing your own challenges, or supporting or working with someone who is.
This course will open up a conversation about some of the tools and strategies that have helped people in managing and supporting addiction.
A quick note that this is a mini-course. It runs for 3 hours online. Our in person course is 5 hours. Even though it is a mini course, it is still packed with lots of learning!
We are an initiative of Alfred Health and work in partnership with headspace to coproduce courses for and with young people, professionals, and the community.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we all meet and work throughout Australia. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and community and pay respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
