Help guide the development of Practice Principles at the intersection of AOD and Family Violence

In light of the recent family violence reforms VAADA has been funded to support the AOD workforce with practice guidance to facilitate the implementation of a number of reforms.

In line with the Royal Commission into Family Violence, the AOD sector and family violence sectors have been interacting and collaborating in a variety of ways and expressed a strong desire for a common language and practice principles where our work intersects.

VAADA will work with the AOD sector to develop high level principles of practice at the intersection of family violence and AOD treatment. In order to include diverse views and perspectives of sector representatives, VAADA will be organising a series of events, to explore the unique identity of AOD practice in relation to family violence practice and conclude in an agreed set of principles for our work in this shared space.

This AOD Family Violence Network meeting will be the very first event. VAADA has engaged 360EDGE to facilitate this part of the process. Throughout workshops on the day we will reflect on existing sets of principles in AOD frameworks as well as family violence frameworks and through discussions identify the unique identity of these sectors as well as negotiate intersecting principles.

Registration will start at 10am. Coffee and tea will be available upon arrival. The workshops will be running from 10.30am to 1pm. Lunch will be provided from 1pm providing an opportunity for casual networking. An agenda will be provided closer to the date.
