Community Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Research Network (CMHDARN) offers a wide range of resources to build the capacity of individuals and organisations in the mental health and alcohol and other drugs sectors to undertake practice-based research.
The resources featured here are designed to promote the exchange of ideas, provide knowledge and support research capacity in these sectors
In 2024, Mental Health Coordinating Council, the Network of Alcohol and other Drugs Agencies, and CMHDARN held a unique and valuable cross-sector symposium, attended in-person and online across New South Wales.
Collaborative Connections: Mental Health and AOD Symposium brought together the mental health and AOD sectors, offering a platform to strengthen relationships, highlight progress and achievements, and hear what needs to be done to better meet the needs of people with co-occurring needs.
