Anex 09 Australian Drugs Conference - Drugs in Hard Times
Date published: 2009-06-04 10:23:22
When social disadvantage, drugs and tough economic conditions converge they can create the perfect storm. Such a maelstrom puts individuals, families, communities and services under intense pressure.
These changed times mean an increasing number of Australians may not have the support, skills and other means to stay afloat. Frontline workers deal with the day-to-day reality of hard times - a reality that is often complex and extends beyond issues of drug use.
The Australian Drugs Conference - Drugs in Hard Times will focus on improving the ability of frontline services to respond to the complex issues that affect people who use drugs illicitly. It will be relevant to all frontline services, policy makers, service providers, researchers, health and medical professionals and many other stakeholders who want to broaden their knowledge of the evidence, the issues and of innovative responses.
