VAC are looking for volunteer facilitators for Re-Wired 2.0, a peer-led support group for men who have sex with other men who want to change, reduce, control or stop their methamphetamine use.
This is an opportunity to be engaged in a community response to a public health issue by providing an important service for the community, by the community.
VAC are looking for people who have a lived experience or history of methamphetamine use who are available to facilitate Re-Wired 2.0 on a fortnightly basis in South Yarra. The group runs on Tuesday nights. VAC will provide 2 days of facilitator training and ongoing support.
If this opportunity is of interest to you, please contact Garth Parkhill on 03 9865 6700, or email garth.parkhill@vac.org.au.
