Notes:	A consortium of researchers from the Centre for Gender-Related Violence Studies (CGRVS) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and Adults Surviving Child Abuse (ASCA), a non-government organisation, undertook a qualitative research project exploring the intersections of child abuse, adult trauma and, alcohol and drugs from the perspective of both workers and clients. The research project sought to shed new light on the use of alcohol and drugs by adult survivors of child abuse and the challenges that this poses to professional practice in alcohol and drug (AOD) services. This report describes the conduct, findings and implications of that research project and is intended for practitioners within the AOD sector, as well as generic counselling services. The research findings also have implications for strategic planning and training of relevant workers and professionals in allied human services and health fields.
