Understanding issues and impacts are the first steps to raising it. Hear from local health providers and experts about changes to support better AOD care, and discover what you can do. Even the smallest of things can make a difference.
Ask for training
There are many ways to learn about AOD and your role in the field. Here you’ll find tools and support, training modules, and online guides that help you ask questions and provide good answers.
Raise awareness
Raising it can take many forms. Just having more conversations can make a difference to the awareness of AOD issues. Talking can inspire curiosity, reflection and change in your workplace or practice. It can help build a more supportive network in your area, or even the opportunity to mentor others.
Change our practices
Working with your practice or pharmacy team helps build collective understanding, increases awareness, and improves standards. Collaboration helps you know what actions to take regarding AOD stigma. For fresh ideas and inspiration visit the tools and support page or read the research report.
Working together
This region contains many organisations, experts, peer networks and other social services that can provide AOD advice and support. Working locally with your neighbouring pharmacy and practice is a great start to providing more consistent, sustainable care. If you have a question, you can raise it with our team, too.
Leading by example
Change happens when leaders or peers raise the standard. If you are passionate about change, then advocating, reporting and mentoring can help make sure AOD care is part of everyday business.
