The relationship between problematic substance use and exposure to adverse life events is profound. Thankfully through the trauma-informed care practice movement, there has been renewed focus on ensuring services and health care professionals adopt approaches which recognise and promote understanding on the pervasive ways that trauma impacts on the lives of so many. This webinar aims to build on this growing focus through a conversation on how trauma informed care principles may be of help and applied when brought into the work of supporting men.
