Drug, alcohol and gambling issues in a Global Pandemic
About The Event
The global COVID pandemic has created rupture and fragmentation in the community on many levels, whether it is within an individual, a family or the broader community.
These Community Forums are committed to being a platform that will promote community cohesion, providing information and connectedness as we journey together in these unprecedented times.
In this session we will be talking about drug, alcohol and gambling issues in a Global Pandemic.
Why Should You Attend?
We are excited to welcome you to this timely opportunity to reflect and plan for the challenges that the current world is presenting.
You will hear from Dr Vicky Phan, an Addiction Psychiatrist at Turning Point as well as Jack Nagle, Director at Real Drug Talk.
