Mission Australian and Sonder are collaborating to deliver Partners Toward Wellbeing, a unique service offering access to support AOD substance use and evidence-based interventions to assist with the management of co-occurring, or comorbid, mental health conditions.

Partners Toward Wellbeing (PTW) prioritises supports for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities as well as older persons, families and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the Adelaide Metropolitan Region.
