Rainbow Health Australia- Everyday Use, Real Impacts – Queer substance use in focus

September 30 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

A forum launching findings from two major studies of LGBTQ+ alcohol and other drug use

Join the ARCSHS team for a forum launching briefing papers and practice guides from two major studies, QSOX and Futures of Substance.

Tuesday 30 September
1pm-5pm

Thorne Harbour Health (200 Hoddle St Abbotsford) or online via Zoom

Alcohol and other drug use among LGBTQ+ communities is a significant issue, yet clinicians and services often struggle to fully understand its social and cultural dimensions.

To help address this gap, ARCSHS is hosting a half-day event to present recent findings from two research projects examining LGBTQ+ people’s experiences of substance use, problem recognition, and engagement with support services.

The event will bring together researchers, clinicians, community organisations, and service providers to:

  • Share evidence-based insights from qualitative research with LGBTQ+ communities;
  • Discuss practical implications for culturally responsive and identity-affirming care;
  • Create opportunities for dialogue between researchers and those working on the frontline.
