The material on this site is organized into 5 key topics related to substance by girls and women. For the most part the material arises from discussions held in the online environment (in webmeetings and through virtual workspaces) with a wide range of people involved in the addictions field and related fields such as the anti-violence field.  Virtual communities of practice (vCoP) have been created to support these discussions, where participants can examine together multiple forms of evidence and share their perspectives on improving our response to women’s substance use issues.  Many documents posted on this site capture the evidence examined, and promising practices identified, in these vCoP. Often the vCoP were followed by a webcast to communicate the findings to a larger audience, thus audio-visual files that capture these webcasts on specific topics are posted as well.
