Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening - Assist Program

The ASSIST Program provides training, technical advice and support to people interested in Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening.

The ASSIST-BI project team would like to extend our gratitude to all those who attended our ASSIST blue-sky meeting in Canberra this week.

The purpose of the meeting was to bring together a range of key experts in screening and brief interventions for substance use disorders with a plan to update the ASSIST training materials for the future. The group spent 1.5 days discussing and debating potential areas for consolidation and improvement, and we feel that significant steps forward were taken as a result.

On behalf of the ASSIST-BI project team, we are immensely grateful to you all for your support and engagement.

The ASSIST Program team acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of Australia and the Torres Strait. We respect all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people—their customs and their beliefs. We also pay our respects to Elders past and present, with particular acknowledgement to the Kaurna people, the original custodians of the Adelaide Plains and the land on which the University of Adelaide's campuses at North Terrace, Waite, Thebarton and Roseworthy are built.
