Overview

The Indigenous dual diagnosis project has three aims:

• to develop and facilitate dual diagnosis training and resources that are culturally appropriate and relevant
• to build capacity in the Aboriginal workforce.

The DrugInfo Clearinghouse has developed a fact sheet which outlines some of the key themes and findings from the consultation report developed during the first stage of the project.

The DrugInfo Clearinghouse has developed this factsheet which outlines some of the key themes and findings from the consultation report developed during the first stage of the Indigenous dual diagnosis project.

This project has three aims: to increase coordination and collaboration between alcohol and other drug and mental health services; to develop and facilitate dual diagnosis training and resources that are culturally appropriate and relevant; and to build capacity in the Aboriginal workforce.

The findings described in the factsheet provide valuable insights for people working with Aboriginal clients with a dual diagnosis and their families and communities.
