Executive Director of We Help Ourselves (WHOS) and working in alcohol and other drug (AOD) nonprofit sector since 1980 and in management roles since 1986. I have been primarily focused on the residential Therapeutic Community (TC) movement and model of treatment for most of my career to date including working with TCs throughout Asia. In 1986 I became involved in harm minimization initiatives as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and became more focused with staying in touch with needs of users past and present.
