Our Programs
We design and deliver a range of community programs, services and resources targeted at minimising alcohol and other drug-related harm. We know that healthy and resilient communities are the best way to minimise substance use problems. Our programs work to minimise harm in specific environments, changing practices, knowledge and attitudes to create safer places for people to live, work and play.
We are proudly independent and co-design our evidence-based programs together with communities; supporting them to build local capacity to create change.
