NUAA Peers and Consumers Forum 2025
Event description
The NUAA Peers and Consumers Forum returns in 2025 for its 7th annual event. The PaC Forum is a chance for all peoples with lived and living experience of drug use to come together, share stories and learn from each other.
In the face of constant challenges, it's easy to focus on setbacks—but progress is happening. This year’s theme “Two Steps Forward” celebrates the strides we’ve made together in harm reduction, peer engagement, and breaking down stigma. It is a call to build on those wins and continue advancing change, together.
PaC Forum 2025 features:
Peer-led Panels and Discussions: Hear from experts, story tellers, and change makers about current AOD issues. With two days of concurrent sessions you can be certain to find a presentation suited to your interests.
Service Showcase: Visit the exhibition floor to learn more about the services provided by NUAA, forum sponsors and partner organisations.
Onsite NSP: NUAA NSP team members will be on hand to provide harm reduction advice, and NSP equipment. Our HVC specialists will also be offering state-of-the-art rapid Hep C testing and treatment referral pathways.
Harm Reduction Up Close: Watch as experts demystify harm reduction though easy to follow live demonstrations.
Photobooth and Art Gallery: Stop by the pop-up Boomgate Gallery exhibiting artwork from people in custody or snap a selfie in the always popular PaC Forum photobooth.
