Pinching myself that I’ve submitted my PhD! 😱

Thanks so much my amazing supervisors @K_Champion1 @NickieNewton and @LaurenGardner33 and everyone that stood by me and supported me. It really takes a village to complete a PhD!

Had some fun presenting on Australian clinician attitudes towards #psychedelic assisted therapies today at #LxAddictions24. Side note, I didn’t use as many hand gestures as the photos suggest!

Had a recharging and productive time at the @TheMatilda_USyd PhD writing retreat earlier this week.

Wisemans ferry is peaceful and mixing it up is such a good way to beat writers block. Highlight was the maremma livestock guardian dog who I loved but hated me.

SOCIAL ISOLATION, ROMANTIC BREAK-UP AND INSECURE WORK AMONG PREDICTORS FOR MALE LONELINESS in new paper published in BMC Public Health.
Full paper: https://t.co/0gP5tNS2OS

[Jack Wilson @Jack_MWilson]

In 2021/2022, the Australian government spent around $5.45 billion in response to illicit drugs. Treatment, prevention and harm reduction expenditure made up only 1/3 of this. These strategies need a bigger portion of the pie!

[IAS @InstAlcStud]

Better quality studies are increasingly finding that low alcohol consumption is not health-protective

In our latest blog, @RVisontay looks at what these studies find & why it may lead to countries reducing drinking guidelines @TheMatilda_USyd @Sydney_Uni

The national crisis support service group said it received almost 3,500 voice calls to their 24/7 hotline on Sunday in the highest number it has got on one day so far this year. https://t.co/03asO5SIdm

[Dr Katrina Prior @katprior1]

NEW PAPER: Our recent paper revealed that #anxiety severity, coping-with-anxiety drinking motives & low social support were predictive of #alcoholmisuse in postpartum women. Yet, evidence-based support programs for new mums are lacking. We will fix that!
