Reframing Addiction Forum
The Reframing Addiction Series; “Stories of Addiction, Hope, Courage, Connection and the Roles we play”
Anglicare Tasmania is hosting a Reframing Addiction Forum in two locations, Devonport and Launceston during April 2025. The forum aims to build on the understanding and capacity to strengthen the roles we all play in the addiction space and how those roles intersect for the benefit of people accessing support in Tasmania.
The keynote speakers will include leaders working to provide professional development, guidance and understanding to practitioners, the community and supporters of those experiencing addiction.
This is a FREE event, including lunch, that has limited availability. Get in early to secure your space by registering NOW.
We can share two of the keynotes as:
