Just a reminder and encouragement to any injecting drug users to dispose of your #syringes thoughtfully rather than leave them on Melbourne trams (tramTRACKER 282) where children and older folk may inadvertently come in contact with them. Thank you. #heroin #injectingdrugs

@MsLynM Thanks for the retweet Lyn. VMIAC has taken over the important work cohealth consumer leadership group did with the Mental Health (MH) Consumer Self-advocacy Toolkit and in getting the Toolkit ready to bring to market. Important work.

@Helen_Wiggins1 Agree connecting 👍. I’ve found it fruitful also to swap carer resources; when one of us is further along a piece of work. Powerful #allofus
