Welcome to our community space where we share peer written blogs, reflections, lived experience stories and poems. This space is also used to post summaries on the latest drug research, laws and news.

For these events we invite relevant healthcare professionals, AOD workers, researchers and passionate peers to lead focused discussions on different subjects and let you guys in the chatroom ask the questions!
