  Hi My name is Anni Hine Moana. I am interested in the use of narrative therapies/ story in healing, in working with people with AOD problems. I have felt very inspired by the work of Larry Towney and Barbara Wingard and would like to talk to anyone about these and related topics.

  Hi Narelle
  
  The federal governement (health) funds VSU units in a number of states
  Their office is based in Alice Springs.
  I am from western australia and there is one worker in Kalgoorlie and one in ? Broome or Derby for the east kimberley
  
  Drug and Alcohol Office ( State health ) has one dedicated senior worker who works across WA. Her name is Angela Rizk and she is helpful and knowledgable.
  
  After you create your list of workers and key agencies it would be helpful for us to have it posted here as a VSU resource list
  
  good luck

  Hi Narelle,
  In NSW I know a person who works in the Department of Education, Drug Prevention Programs unit and who is responsible for looking into educational issues in that area if you need to be put in touch. He has a range of responsibilities of which this is one area he has looked into. Is there anything specific you require?
