Are you a peer-worker? Do you work in the Alcohol and Other Drug Sector? Or are you a student looking to get in to AOD?

The NUAA Peers and Consumer's forum is a one of a kind event in NSW run by people with live and living experience of drug use. It's an excellent opportunity to hear the voices of peers, learn about the sector and network with others in the community.

NUAA members can attend for free, and membership to NUAA is also free. Sign up today 🔗 https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=y9rqmpffb0OSr8QTFEs6gAowoCd3FXFDgIGV1pkhhxtUQkY0QVZKWFVWOEhRN1RRTDBDR1VGTjVGRCQlQCN0PWcu

🎨 "I feel like we can sometimes go a bit further than other comms people, keeping true to the more DIY roots of activism and art."

✨️ You've seen the vibrant illustrations for Support, Don't Punish on your feed, let's meet the woman behind them!

🫂 Emily Ebdon is an artist, communications worker, and harm reduction peer who has spent the better part of her 20-year career on the frontlines of Needle and Syringe Programs (NSPs) across Tasmania. She knows what it's like to be told your ideas aren't welcome, and draws every illustration you see by hand.

🗨️ In this article, Emily talks to Users News about peer-led creativity, the weight of the words she works with, and why it matters that this art comes from us.
