Policy Papers/Report: To foster knowledge exchange
at the conference, Palladia produced a briefing paper that was disseminated
to conference participants. This paper contained academic
research, data, and best practices relevant to critical transition
moments in the life of a substance abuser and his or her family,
and they formed the background for the afternoon discussion.
Following the conference, Palladia will produce
a series of policy papers that will include the recommendations
that emerge from the conference discussions. This report will be
disseminated to policy makers, the media, academics, government
officials, foundations, etc. to encourage further discussion, research
and implementation. Policy recommendations will be integrated
into Palladia’s advocacy work in 2004-2005.
