Handbook for Aboriginal Alcohol and Drug Work

The National Indigenous Alcohol and Drug Conference (NIDAC) was held last week in Fremantle, Western Australia.  A number of important developments were announced at this conference, but one which we think deserves particular mention was the launch of "The Handbook for Aboriginal Alcohol and Drug Work".  This guide has been written for Aboriginal health workers and others working with this population.  It covers all elements of alcohol and other drug work, including specific drug information, but also information on mental health, prevention, harm reduction, legal issues, community-wide approaches and much more.  It is a significant piece of work which has been a long time in the making. Electronic copies of the resource are available for download. Download "The handbook for Aboriginal Alcohol and Drug Work" (3.9MB PDF)
