Jack and Michael are joined by Atlas, the Casual Groups Facilitator for TAPS, Thorne Harbour Health’s Trans and gender diverse Alcohol and other drug Peer Support program.

TAPS is run by trans, non-binary and gender diverse folk and is all about meeting you where you’re at.

Working under a harm reduction framework – facilitators support attendees to reduce the harms that come about from using alcohol and other drugs.
