Tuesdays with Nexus

The Yarra Drug & Health Forum (YDHF) is a dynamic, adaptive and educative local network committed to identifying and responding to the health and social needs of the community in Yarra.

The Forum aims to ensure health and community relationships are minimally harmed by drug use in the City of Yarra – this includes the impact of drugs on individuals, families and friends, residents and visitors to the area and local businesses.

As we farewell 2021, we also see off Bernadette Burchell who has been in the Executive Officer position at the forum since 2019.

YDHF Chairperson Peter Wearne thanks Bernadette on behalf of the forum, for her integrity, wisdom and humanity which has led the work of the Forum to champion the voices of the often unheard members of the community and for their perspectives to be respected and listened to. She has exemplified the need to be solid at the core but open at the edges.
