The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre has been funded by the Department of Health and Ageing as part of the National Comorbidity Initiative to develop National Comorbidity Clinical Guidelines. The purpose of the Guidelines is to provide alcohol and other drug workers with up-to-date, evidence-based information on the management of comorbid mental health conditions in AOD treatment settings. They are of relevance to those who work with people who experience both mental health and AOD issues.
The purpose of these half-day seminars is to provide an overview of the National Comorbidity Guidelines with a focus on the implications for clinical practice. The seminar will be of particular relevance to service managers, team leaders, educators, comorbidity project officers from government and non-government services.
Registration is essential. Due to the limited number of places only 2 participants per organisation can be registered.
