Reimagining strengths approaches to drug and alcohol care for young people

该项目旨在推动青年酒精和毒品部门基于优势的方法的概念化和实际应用。这些方法为解决年轻人中的物质使用和劣势问题提供了一条很有希望的途径，在该部门很普遍，但缺乏强有力的证据基础。该项目将学习以土著力量为基础的优秀模式，并借鉴社会学框架，以产生证据，在此基础上为处境不利的年轻人制定更相关的对策。这将为服务提供者和政策制定者提供证据，说明如何开展以优势为基础的实践，满足处于不利地位的年轻人的需要。

This project aims to advance the conceptualisation and practical application of strengths-based approaches in the youth alcohol and drug sector. These approaches provide a promising way forward for addressing substance use and disadvantage among young people, and are widespread in the sector, but lack a strong evidence base. The project will learn from excellence in Aboriginal strengths-based models, and draw on sociological frameworks, to generate evidence on which to build more relevant responses for disadvantaged young people. This will provide significant benefit to service providers and policymakers by providing evidence about how to do strengths-based practice that is responsive to the needs of disadvantaged young people.
