REFERRAL PATHWAYS

Both Paula and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to you all; we set up the because we both saw a gap between individuals and families impacted by substance misuse. ; The Link Foundation AOD is a charity founded by Paula and Renee dedicated to positively impacting the alcohol and other drug sectors. We support individuals and families facing substance misuse challenges, providing evidence-based therapies and services to empower them. Through education, research, and collaboration, we continually enhance our offerings, benefiting individuals within your community.

Although Paula and Renee are based in Sydney, our services extend throughout NSW. We offer a 24-hour support line for brief interventions, ensuring assistance is available statewide. As a new charity, we aim to expand our presence by placing counsellors in various locations across NSW. We are actively contacting local areas to offer our services and support to your community.
