Linked IRL: Drugs & Alcohol Sector

In partnership with Brimbank Learning Futures, Linked IRL is a networking event for young people aged 16-25 years who live, work, study, or recreate in the City of Brimbank, DESIGNED by young people.

We invite you to join us each month to:

• Hear from insightful guest speakers across a variety of industries
• Find out about opportunities in further education & employment
• Broaden your professional networks
• Strengthen your social connections

This month, our youth co-design committee has decided on the theme DRUGS & ALCOHOL, inviting speakers who work in the sector to provide insights on their profession and share steps young people can take to support a friend facing substance abuse.
