The P.A.R.T.Y. (Prevent Alcohol & Risk-related Trauma in Youth) program is a one-day in-hospital intervention program for at-risk youth that aims to educate them on the consequences of risk-taking behaviors like crime, substance abuse, and reckless actions. The program is piloting with young offenders referred by magistrates. An analysis of 128 offenders found that 29 did not re-offend after the program, while only 2 did re-offend. Research has also found the P.A.R.T.Y. program reduces traumatic injuries and subsequent offenses compared to matched controls, suggesting it is an effective intervention.
Presentation by Erika Robertson, Community and Health Development Officer, City of Port Phillip. Presented at the DrugInfo seminar on crime and disorder at Melbourne Exhibition Centre, 5 September 2012.
Reviewing case studies of organizations that succeeded and struggled during the pandemic from an abuse prevention standpoint. Will include discussion and teaching points grouped into four categories:
1. Something Old -- risk management and abuse prevention practices that remain necessary and consistent and how to apply them to altered programming
2. Something New -- new abuse prevention strategies as we look at how programs and interactions may have changed (i.e. emphasis on social media and electronic communications)
3. Something Learned -- case studies to see what we can learn as an industry for how to approach/modify programs and/or policies and procedures. Additionally, looking at how/if the pandemic changed how offenders operate.
4. Something True -- we can still provide quality programming that is safe for consumers, staff, and volunteers.

Not for human consumption: new and emerging drugs in Australia - Stephen Brig...Australian Drug Foundation
By tweaking the molecular structure of banned chemicals, new drugs have been developed to circumvent the law. Despite little information about their toxicity, these new and emerging drugs have been sold online and in Australian adult stores. They are typically professionally packaged and labeled as ‘not for human consumption’. This presentation aims to provide participants with a brief overview of the context within which this phenomenon has developed and the types of products that have been available in Australia. This is a rapidly shifting market – each time one of these new drugs is banned, it seems like two more drugs emerge to replace it. As such, the limitations of legislative responses will be explored and alternative policy options considered. The presentation will also explore the need for better monitoring systems that are able to help us remain abreast of the rapid changes in the market.

The rapid proliferation of new drugs available to Australians has necessitated the use of innovative techniques to monitor their emergence. In this presentation, Monica uses the example of NBOMe drugs (reportedly sold as
‘legal LSD’) to outline 4 ways of monitoring drug use trends online and in real-time (Google Trends, drug user forums, Twitter, and Silk Road). These tools are freely available for use by clinicians, AOD workers and researchers who are seeking further information about new drugs presented by clients, or that are talked about in their work.
