Presented in partnership with Mental Health Victoria, Orygen and Parkville Youth Mental Health & Wellbeing Service on February 25th, 2026.

Young people seeking support through primary care, mental health or alcohol and other drug (AOD) systems frequently face both substance use and mental health challenges. However, integrated support addressing both concerns remains the exception.

This webinar explored clinical and research perspectives on the characteristics of youth presenting with co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions across different settings.

It also highlighted approaches to integrated care and examined developmental factors that influence how these issues emerge, affect and progress in young people.
