This seminar took place on Wednesday 29th September and focuses on youth justice.

It was the first in a series of seminars hosted by The University of Sydney after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Youth Justice NSW in July 2021.

Presenters:

Elizabeth Saenz, UNODC, presents on the issue of patient abuse and corruption in treatment and provides a call to action on the need to address this problem that spans across countries.

This webinar highlighted the evidence base underpinning drug and alcohol residential rehabilitation and discussed future research directions.

This webinar looked at the reasons why the integration of AOD and mental health sectors has failed and outlines possible alternatives.

This webinar explored the issues of infants withdrawing from maternal drugs of addiction, and problems beyond the newborn period.

Newborn drug withdrawal is often attributed to maternal opioids, but many other drugs can cause serious problems in the newborn infant. The impact of prenatal substance exposure extends beyond the newborn period and may have serious long-term consequences on the infant until adulthood.

The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) held the 2021 Annual Research Symposium on the 20 - 22 October 2021.
