In 2009 a national, virtual Community of Practice (vCoP) provided the opportunity for a "virtual discussion" of issues, research, and programming related to girls' and women's substance use in Canada. The vCoP involved planners, decision-makers, direct service providers, educators, NGO leaders, policy analysts and researchers working to implement the National Framework for Action to Reduce the Harms Associated with Alcohol and other Drugs and Substances in Canada.

This webcast will:

* Discuss the benefits of applying sex/gender/diversity based analysis in the substance use field

* Share highlights of the virtual discussions on topics, such as girls' substance use, trauma-informed approaches to addiction treatment, and women-centred approaches to harm reduction

* Introduce 4 resources that were developed out of the collaborative learning process
