NCCRED is hoping to explore some of the unique challenges currently being experienced by the Alcohol and other Drugs sector amidst the necessity of social distancing and the threat of infection. It’s a great opportunity to share these challenges and reflect on some of the things we’re learning. We hope this will be a useful resource as we step forward into uncertain times.

In this series we’ll dive into some of the immediate problems, research endeavours, and new clinical practices that are emerging during the time of COVID-19 and what life might look like after the pandemic.
