Addictive Behaviours
Sharing a common drive, commitment, and hope for changing the way people understand and respond to addictive behaviours, Tamara and Nicola first met in 2008 while working together in a specialised alcohol, drug, and gambling service. We connected over our desire to make meaningful differences in the addictive behaviours field.
We share a vision for a world where people experiencing harm from alcohol, drugs, and gambling are treated with compassion, dignity, and understanding.
We advocate for evidence-based policy and practice responses, which reduce stigma and enable people to receive the support they need, when they need it.
We strongly align with the harm minimisation approach and bring our collective backgrounds in psychology, social work, public health, and leadership to this work.
