The Comorbidity Bus Tours are cross-sectoral development activity that aims to increase the capacity of frontline workers to support people experiencing co-occurring ATOD and mental health issues (comorbidity).
The Comorbidity Bus Tour visits a variety of services in the ACT from the ATOD, mental health and youth sectors on three separate tours that operate on a rotating basis fortnightly or once a month. Over 30 programs collaborate to provide service visits on the tours.
The Comorbidity Bus Tours are a partnership between ATODA, the Youth Coalition of the ACT (youth sector peak body) and the Mental Health Community Coalition ACT (mental health sector peak body).
