@VAADAENEWS @PatMcGorry @BelindaVolkov @ian_hickie @dan_lubman @rethinkadd @JamesMerlinoMP MH and AOD are parallel but seperate specialisations sharing clients. We need robust MH and AOD systems, enabled and resourced to work with each other (and with the other parallel services e.g., housing, child protection, DFV etc.).

[VAADA @VAADAENEWS]

@PatMcGorry @BelindaVolkov @ian_hickie @dan_lubman @rethinkadd @JamesMerlinoMP AOD split from MH due to MH system failures. Simplistic integration/absorption of AOD to MH will harm those poorly served by a medically focused MH system.
Simple solutions=danger.
Focus on enhanced AOD skills in MH/vice versa to build capacity to meet demand. @VAADAENEWS

This is such an important issue. Its not about the amazing charities and staff that we employ BUT it is about increasing waitlists and not keeping up with the demand on our services. Please back this campaign you will help create a truly civil society

These kinds of services are the reason the private rehab sector needs to be regulated. Anyone can set up a private rehab, providing any random treatment with no relevant background or qualifications.

Alcohol free days. Seems very sensible but is it news? The three day a week Alcohol free is a long established healthy habit. https://t.co/6eIpsmUtuP

Why Portugal's drug law reform in 2001 is so important. Great article. Highly recommended. Not perfect. But better than most other countries can manage now. https://t.co/5PTlGJU0em

[Make Smoking History @msh_wa]

Great to see smoking rates on the decline across all SES groups and remoteness areas. Need to continue to prioritise reducing the gap between most advantaged / disadvantaged groups and metro / regional areas.

Medical specialists from @TheRACP are calling for the Australian Government to introduce mandatory pregnancy warning labels on #alcohol products.
As Australians, we have the right to know about substances that will harm our children. #notgoodenough
