This paper examines the interconnectedness of alcohol and other drug (AOD)-related harm and mental ill-health. It highlights the importance of evidence-based, integrated responses to AOD-MH that prioritise community ownership and trauma-informed care. This paper synthesises research on AOD-MH in First Nations communities with studies of AOD-related harms and studies of mental health, wellbeing and SEWB.
