Holiday Health – AOD and Therapeutic Services

Health

This week we have our Holiday Health episode! Jack and Cal look into what support services can help our LGBTIQ communities get through the festive season.

Venetia Brissenden speaks with us about Alcohol and Other Drug services they’re involved with at The Cottage in South Australia.

Nic Robinson-Griffith from Thorne Harbour also talks about how you can support friends and family during this time.

If you need support via web chat or phone during the holiday period, visit Switchboard for more info.
