Collaboration

Our International Department collaborates closely with local NGO’s that have considerable knowledge on the circumstances of drug users in their own country...

Mission

A drug-free world is a utopia and substance use a social phenomenon. These are a few points of departure for Mainline.

Russian Roulette

For the Dutch awareness campaign on hepatitis C, Mainline developed a game called ‘Russian Roulette.’ A good tool for starting up conversations in different settings and fields of work. By making up their own questions, social workers can bring up sensitive issues in a light-hearted setting. The board game can be ordered via this website, starting September 20 2010.

The newsletter discusses the latest developments relating to HIV and specifically focuses on problems that HIV-positive users face. Examples include: What if the treatment does not work, failing to keep up treatment as a result of an irregular lifestyle, or a co-infection with hepatitis C. Quality of life is another subject that is discussed. Nowadays, as a result of successful medication, HIV-positive users have the prospect of a longer life. So, in addition to medical issues, users increasingly seek answers to general life- and health-related questions.
