Cameron Francis

Responding to inhalant use in Queensland.

by Insight

Inhalant use presents a range of challenges for the service system. The cohort regularly using inhalants are often very young, frequently with backgrounds of complex trauma, and interfacing with the justice, health and child protection system. This presentation will provide an update on inhalant use in Queensland including information on the medical management of inhalant use, and strategies to assist coordinated multi-agency responses.
