Presented by RACGP Specific Interests in partnership with Emerging Minds, this third webinar in the series will explore how collaborative goal setting can transform how families navigate ADHD and other developmental or behavioural concerns.
 
This webinar will highlight practical strategies for supporting families to identify priorities, build confidence and strengthen their capacity to manage challenges. Panellists will discuss how GPs can use collaborative goal setting to empower families, while linking them to relevant resources and service pathways.

GPADD Conference
Registrations are open for the 2026 General Practice in Addiction (GPADD) Conference, 28–29 August in Melbourne.
 
Alcohol and other drug (AOD) issues are firmly on the radar of general practice, with 72% of newsGP poll respondents reporting they encounter them daily or weekly in routine consultations. The results underscore the central role GPs play in identifying, managing and supporting patients affected by AOD use. 
 
The full program is now available, featuring practical workshops and expert speakers on AOD in general practice. Early bird tickets are available until 19 July.
