Improving drug treatment services for young people in regional Victoria
Too many rural and regional young people are not accessing treatment for their drug and alcohol problems. Geographic barriers and concerns about anonymity are particular issues in small rural communities. YSAS developed a multi-pronged service that combined: training, building a coordinated regional network, developing and piloting a new intervention for addictive behavior in partnership with Deakin University, and building knowledge and confidence in the use of technology to assist the practice of youth health providers.
