Join us for a webinar exploring new research on the development, implementation, and lived experiences of peer-led services and talk therapies that address the sexualised use of crystal methamphetamine and gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a practice commonly referred to as "chemsex." Over the past decade, chemsex has been the subject of extensive research, highlighting a complex interplay of pleasures, motivations, and associated harms, and reinforcing the urgent need for tailored, affirming interventions. In this seminar, Dr Jack Freestone presents his research on implementing community-based and peer-led chemsex responses, shedding light on the importance of integrating sex and sexuality into alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment. Learn how services can foster connection and safety without shame, and why addressing the sexual dimensions of drug use is essential to creating inclusive, effective care. 

Jack Freestone is a post-doctoral research fellow at the National Centre for Clinical Research on Emerging Drugs (NCCRED).
