The workshop was conceived and developed to promote collaboration across key agencies and community members in addiction and child and family services. Organised by the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Task Force (DLRDATF) Treatment and Rehabilitation Committee (T&R) the event was focused on bringing together people from different domains, backgrounds and organisations alongside community members and service users. The overall purpose of gathering people together was to improve health and social outcomes for drug service users and their families by fostering interdisciplinary engagement.
