DRUG ARM is pleased to
announce the creation of a new
opportunity to make a difference
in the community and reach out
to those in need, thanks to an
exciting new partnership with
the Mental Health Association
of Queensland (MHAQ).
In one of the first mergers between
a mental health organisation and
an alcohol and other drug agency in
Australia, MHAQ and DRUG ARM have
joined forces with the Australian College
of Community Services (ACCS), MHAQ’s
formal training division to work together
to deliver the utmost care, support, and
education to people affected by the
harms associated with mental health,
and alcohol and other drug use.
The friendly merger comes in line with
the national direction of dual diagnosis
structures; as 83 per cent of DRUG ARM
Dr Dennis Young with MHAQ CEO Geoff Ridell.
DRUG ARM and MHAQ
Uniting to make a difference
clients present a co-occurrence of both
mental health, and alcohol and other drug
issues. DRUG ARM Executive Director,
Dr Dennis Young, says the merger offers
better outcomes for clients in need, who
may also be experiencing issues such as
homelessness, unemployment, health, and
criminal justice.
“The merger brings together three
agencies that will form one specialist
group committed to providing quality care
and support for people with complex
needs, who may otherwise be excluded
from access to care,” Dr Young said.
In line with the merger, DRUG ARM
Australasia has moved into shared
premises with MHAQ and ACCS in a new,
larger office in Annerley. This provides
further support for clients by offering
more options within the one service,
as collaboration increases between
the two organisations’ training and
education programs. Support workers
and volunteers will gain an increased

Executive Directors Update
Since our last newsletter, many
changes have taken place at
DRUG ARM, presenting new
opportunities for the future.
Change can impact on us in different
ways. As an organisation, we strive
to move forward to enhance our ability to
serve the community. Through times of
change we can all gain strength and focus
when we take the time to reflect upon the
Serenity Prayer that is often used during
the recovery process.
‘God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.’
Since my last update, I note that Mr Robert
‘Bob’ Cook has resigned from the DRUG
ARM Board and Board Committees.
On behalf of the directors, managers, staff,
volunteers and students, I thank Bob for his
tireless contributions to DRUG ARM. Our
Board members are volunteers who have
varying commitments. Your generosity in
supporting DRUG ARM to help those in
need, makes a big difference. Our thoughts
and prayers are with Bob and his family
as he retires to spend more time with his
family.
I am delighted to welcome two new
members to the DRUG ARM (Foundation)
Board. Dr David Loder, General
Superintendent of the Queensland Baptist
Church, and Dr Neil Watts, President,
Seventh-Day Adventist Church, South
Queensland Conference. Both directors
bring a wealth of experience, knowledge
and skills to their new roles. On behalf of
everyone involved I thank David and Neil for
volunteering their services to DRUG ARM.
This newsletter covers in more detail the
exciting news of the merger between the
Drug Awareness and Relief Foundation
(Australia), DRUG ARM Australasia, the
Mental Health Association QLD and the
Australian College of Community Services.
This is the first time that an alcohol and
other drug agency has merged with a
mental health organisation, with the overall
aim to improve the quality of client service.
I acknowledge and thank the tireless efforts
of Geoff Riddell, CEO of the Mental Health
Association QLD who has significantly
contributed to the success of the merger.
I also thank Mr Ian Hay, President of the
Australian College of Community Services
and Vice President of Mental Health
Association QLD, and all their directors for
their input into the merger. Dr John Roulston
AM and Mr Peter Henderson from the
DRUG ARM Boards were also instrumental
in this success of the merger. The benefit of
the merger is the ability of the organisations
to explore new opportunities for enhancing
programs and services delivered to clients
in the alcohol and other drug and the
mental health sectors.
In the words of the late and great Rev
Charles Wesley “The best is yet to be”.
In closing, I acknowledge the outstanding
contribution of our staff, volunteers,
students and directors in helping DRUG
ARM continue to make a difference. The
most precious gift you can give to anyone
is your time and skills and I witness on a
daily basis the overwhelming contribution
being made by our team. It is both an
honour and a privilege to be able to serve
as the Executive Director with a dedicated,
talented and gifted team.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if
any member of our team can be of further
assistance to you.
Regards,
Dr Dennis Young
Executive Director

South Australia Update
DRUG ARM’s Brisbane office wasn’t the
only one to move into a new home this
year – as part of the amalgamation of the
Glenelg and Unley offices, DRUG ARM’s
SA State Office now operates from 249
Diagonal Road, Warradale.
In line with their relocation, our SA team
has also enjoyed a generous $20,000
grant from the Melbourne Lord Mayor
Community Trust. This has allowed the
expansion of their Education and Training
Division and the employment of more full
time staff. It has provided the opportunity
for more comprehensive industry training
for staff, as well as more AOD Prevention
and Child Safe Environment Workshops
for schools and the wider community.

DRUG ARM was the proud beneficiary of
the bmag Family Race Day on Saturday
July 9 at the Eagle Farm Racecourse.
The event raised $2,115 for DRUG ARM’s
support services and programs. DRUG
ARM would like to thank bmag for their
partnership and support.
SAVE THE DATE!
In celebration of our new partnership
with the Mental Health Association of
Queensland and the Australian College
of Community Services, DRUG ARM
will be holding an official Open Day in
the latter part of the year. We would like
as many of our donors and supporters
to attend and help us celebrate our
exciting new partnership with MHAQ.
We would love the opportunity to

capacity to improve their understanding of
the complexity of dealing with clients with
complex and challenging issues.
“This new entity with its combined
resources will result in improved quality
services for clients of both organisations,”
Dr Young explained. “It allows for the
development of wider strategic alliances
between our organisations, government
organisations, and others within the nongovernment
sector.”
DRUG ARM, MHAQ and ACCS are
committed to taking advantage of their new
partnership to enhance their programs and
services through collaborative education,
training, and treatment. The opportunity
to further develop DRUG ARM’s well
resourced library, research and education
division will result in the availability of
a greater number and higher quality of
valuable resources for the community.
The merger allows the two organisations
to continue their shared vision of delivering
quality and sustainable outcomes for those
living with or at risk of alcohol and other
drug or mental health related issues. The
partnership demonstrates and promotes
increased recognition that the two issues
often go hand in hand.
“The new partnership provides us
with opportunities to continue building
on the strength of our accredited
volunteering history and culture within our
organisations,” Dr. Young said. “We look
forward to making a real difference to the
community.”

Changes in AOD Education
One of the most important
and effective strategies
for alcohol and other drug
awareness is education.
Schools are the perfect setting
for these AOD programs, and
DRUG ARM’s AOD Education
Team conducts educational
seminars intended to stop or
delay the uptake of alcohol and
other drug use amongst young
people.
Circus Spectacular
DRUG ARM, in partnership with the
Spastic Centre of South Australia (scosa)
and the Rotary Club of Liverpool West,
were proud beneficiaries of the Circus
Spectacular; a project encouraging
businesses to sponsor tickets to the
circus in both SA and NSW for disadvantaged
children, their families, and carers.
The Rotary Club of Liverpool West’s
Circus Spectacular, April 2-5, raised
$63,671 for DRUG ARM’s New South
Wales Outreach Services. scosa’s Circus
Spectacular on May 21, raised $30,733
for DRUG ARM’s South Australian
Outreach Services.
DRUG ARM thanks both organisations
for their partnership and support.
However, many AOD education
programs are still using scare
tactics and shock campaigns,
an outdated approach which
current literature proves is no
longer relevant or effective.
Research has found that kids are becoming
immune to scare tactics, and greater value
needs to be placed on communication,
questioning and feedback, and peer-topeer
learning.
An understanding of the cognitive levels
of children of different ages is essential
for AOD education, as it allows for
successful communication and passing
on of information. It is important for more
emphasis to be placed on incorporating
AOD education into the school curriculum,
to provide proven, evidence based
information followed by evaluations of
the programs’ effectiveness. Did the kids
understand? Did they learn anything? Has
there been a change in their perception of
the harms of alcohol and other drugs
since the program?
DRUG ARM AOD Education Officers
operating in schools have backgrounds
and qualifications in education and
health promotion. Our AOD education
programs provide appropriate and effective
approaches, delivering accessible and
up-to-date information essential for harm
minimisation and prevention for young
people at risk.
For more information on DRUG
ARM’s AOD education and training
programs, please contact Education
Team Leader, Michael Watts, on

Student Volunteer
Showcase
DRUG ARM is lucky enough to have
the help of several student volunteers
who participate in our programs as part
of their work placement requirements.
To acknowledge their amazing and
valued contribution, DRUG ARM invites
all student volunteers to participate
in a Student Showcase, to be held
on Thursday October 13, 2011. The
showcase is an opportunity for students
to give presentations to academics,
family and friends to describe and
highlight their volunteering experience
with DRUG ARM and the importance
and benefit of the program.

The Smallest Change Can
Make the Biggest Difference
Sharon Majerovic, CAFSS Volunteer
For Sharon Majerovic, a voluntary case
worker for DRUG ARM’s Community
and Family Support Service (CAFSS) in
Ipswich, watching her clients apply positive
changes to their lives as a result of the
program is reward enough. Beginning as
a work placement student with CAFSS,
Sharon was so inspired by the strength
and courage of her clients that she chose
to stay on as a volunteer case worker. She
refuses to take any credit for the progress
of her clients, as she believes DRUG ARM’s
extensive volunteer training programs
simply allow her to present them with
opportunities for change, and “they do
all the work, I just try to create a positive
change in their lives”.
Sharon often deals with dual diagnosis
clients presenting complex issues; clients
like 25-year-old mother-of-three, Kelly
(name changed for confidentiality reasons),
who was referred to the CAFSS program
by Probation and Parole. Sharon describes
Kelly as having an extensive history of
alcohol use, coupled with aggression,
anxiety, and depression.
The exciting new merger between DRUG
ARM, MHAQ and ACCS, along with the
relocation to the shared office in Annerley,
has meant there are promising new
opportunities for increased collaboration
through sharing and expanding of the
Resource Centre’s valuable resources. In
addition, the new Annerley offices boast
a large training room equipped with the
latest technology able to deliver training and
development sessions both in-house and to
other sites.
As a result, the Resource Centre, as part of
the Policy Research and Practice Division
of DRUG ARM, is developing two new
training concepts – the Seminar Series and
the Journal Club - to help fulfil professional
development requirements in line with
emerging trends and relevant topics. The
programs will be available to DRUG ARM,
MHAQ, and ACCS staff along with other
alcohol and other drug (AOD) professionals.
The monthly Seminar Series will involve
presentations by a selection of expert guest
Sharon Majerovic, CAFSS Volunteer.
“Kelly arrived for her initial assessment with
her partner and two week old baby,” Sharon
recalls. “She told me she drank on average
up to four litres of wine per day, but had cut
back since giving birth. Kelly felt used by
others and had a very poor self image. We
soon uncovered that people weren’t treating
her poorly; she was allowing them to do
so. This was the first step to her recovery

speakers offering insight and knowledge
in their specialised field. The seminars are
designed to provide access to specialist
information for staff, to enhance their
skills and ability to work more effectively
with clients. The Journal Club will be held
regularly as an opportunity to discuss and
review current research. It is designed to
keep up to date with new literature, promote
awareness of current research findings,
learn to critique and appraise research, and
encourage research utilisation.
The Resource Centre is vital to both
DRUG ARM’s and MHAQ’s overall
mission, as it provides the necessary
education, knowledge and skills for
both staff and clients to gain a deeper
understanding of AOD and mental health
issues. Contributions and sponsors are
encouraged and welcomed to support the
Resource Centre (see the donation form for
details).
The Seminar Series will be held on
the second Tuesday of every month from
and she said this realisation alone
changed her life.”
Sharon focused on building Kelly’s
confidence while working to uncover the
triggers that lead her to drink heavily. Kelly
practiced her new skills at home, reporting
that she could not believe the positive
impact they were making to her life. By this
stage, Kelly had abstained from drinking
for five weeks, regained custody of her
two older children, began studying Fashion
Design from home and eventually found
she had completely lost the urge to drink
alcohol at all.
“She took the lessons I offered her and
after some time felt she was finally in
control of her life,” Sharon explained. “The
main thing I try to teach my clients is that
you don’t need to make a huge change to
make a positive change; it’s often merely a
slight shift in their way of thinking.
“People think they have to do something
extraordinary, when it’s really the smallest
change that makes the biggest difference.”
The next CAFSS volunteer training
session will be held on Saturday
September 24th 2011.

Life in the MOSHPIT
Donna Phillips, DRUG ARM Volunteer
Life is interesting isn’t it! At aged 60
I find myself starting over again.
Yes, I feel sad; yes, I’m learning to take
responsibility for the choices I’ve made.
One way off the lounge and back onto the
streets has been as a ‘guest’, riding out with
the DRUG ARM MOSHPIT Van crew.
Dana was my first contact. Before we met,
every person in the office I spoke with said
the same thing about the MOSHPIT Van
lady; that she is a truly wonderful person,
and that she has great personal warmth.
Later, when we finally met, I understood
their sentiments. I felt like I’d always known
her. And later, out on the streets, I saw
that the folk who met us for tea, coffee,
bikkies and soup, felt the same. Dana’s

Toowoomba Op Shop
Relocates
DRUG ARM’s Toowoomba Op Shop,
offering quality second-hand clothes
and bric-a-brac at affordable prices, has
moved to an exciting new location at 2
Leichhardt Street, Toowoomba.
Forced to move after the devastating
floods earlier this year, Business
Manager Paul Richardson says the store
is back on its feet again. “It’s taken a
long time, but our volunteers are back
working and very happy with the new
store,” he said.
The move will benefit the community
by providing new opportunities for
volunteers to put up their hands and
day as a DRUG ARM ‘Ambassador’ begins
as early as 5am, flood, rain, hail or shine.
Commanding the big MOSHPIT van, she
negotiates narrow alleys and tricky terrain
to meet and greet the homeless and others
who receive the support of this collaborative
service around inner Brisbane city.
At one of the stops in front of an old
boarding house, a group of eager people
were already milling on the footpath. Then,
amongst the servings of refreshments came
the connection and a good ear, I could see
the regulars look forward to. Talk was of
bed bugs, complaints of aching joints, a
visit to nurse Julie who has a clinic set up
in the van, some cards for referrals to better
accommodation, a receiving and reply to
a verbal “How are you, hope you’re okay”
message from Pat (over at New Farm), to
Pete and Norm, rolling back up for seconds
that grew into sixth servings, squirreling
away of ‘treats’ for the next meal, and some
really, really nice sharing.
As these new acquaintances of mine are
on record as ‘homeless with shelter’, at
the end of the day came reflection on how
the experience can provide some food for
thought. Some nourishment perhaps, for
a jaded soul to rebuild perspective and
gratitude. So, who’s helping whom? My
guess is we’re all in it together.
Yes, I look forward to the next visit. I’m
so glad I volunteered. The experience
has deepened my appreciation and
commitment to DRUG ARM’s mission.

The Power of Philanthropy
NSW Receives Generous Grants
At DRUG ARM, we believe in the
worth of every individual. Everyone is
entitled to the opportunity to live a safe,
healthy lifestyle free from the harms
associated with alcohol and other drugs.
Unfortunately, due to limited funds
and resources it can prove difficult to
supply adequate support programs
for individuals and families who are
experiencing these harms.
Philanthropic grants from trusts and
foundations provide a significant source
of funds for many of DRUG ARM’s vital
programs and services. The NSW offices
have recently been the grateful and
fortunate recipients of some fantastic
grants. The extended team at DRUG
ARM Australasia would like to deeply
thank the following organisations for
their overwhelming contributions:
Fairfield CDSE
A $12,556 grant allowed DRUG ARM
to fund a pilot drug awareness program
at Verona School in Fairfield, a school
for children with behavioural and
emotional issues.
The Honda Foundation
A $2,784 grant funded new computer
equipment for the NSW State Office in
Fairfield.
An $8,730 grant funded new external
equipment for the Wollongong office
including a canopy lock up trailer, BBQ,
outdoor heater, tables and a marquee.
Trust Company
A $30,000 grant funded a new Street
Outreach Service van for the
Wollongong office.
Greater Newcastle Building Society
A $57,700 grant provided funds for
a new Street Outreach Service van for
the Newcastle office.

The speakers provided a wealth of insight,
sharing research outcomes and models of
care with a greater emphasis on the need
to continue to work together. The events
enabled government, non-government,
agency workers, church representatives
and key members from the legal and justice
sectors to come together with a view to
improving their networks.
The success of the events showed there
is a committed approach to improving the
health of Australians, particularly in relation
to access to services in the alcohol and
other drug and mental health sectors.
We look forward to opportunities to
continuously enhance our community

Ipswich Book Affair
Now in its seventh year, DRUG ARM’s
Annual Ipswich Book Affair is as popular
as ever. Some 960 people visited St
Paul’s Anglican Church Hall from the
4th – 7th of August, up by 30 per cent
from 2010, to find a bargain amongst
the thousands of quality second hand
books on offer. Sales and donations
from the Book Affair raised almost
$8,000, with $1,078 from donations
alone – an increase of 35 per cent
from last year. All proceeds go towards
DRUG ARM’s treatment, education, and
outreach programs in Ipswich.
This year, DRUG ARM received an
overwhelming number of books
including a generous donation from the
Queensland State Library. As always, the
Book Affair would not have gone ahead
if it weren’t for the loyal and valued
group of volunteers who gave their time
to make the event a success. We were
also supported by our partners QT,
Ipswich City Council, and All Purpose
Transport. DRUG ARM thanks the loyal
volunteers, sponsors, and contributors
for helping us to help others.
