Mission, Vision, Values
Our Mission
Addressing alcohol and drug-related issues:
Reducing harm and supporting positive change.
Our Vision
Our vision is to have a society that is protected from the harm that can result from alcohol and drug use. To do this we need to address alcohol and drug use directly and also the other related social factors that contribute to substance use problems such as mental health, poverty, employment and housing.
We can do this through approaches that result in the prevention of substance use problems at individual, community and societal levels, providing effective intervention that supports positive change that reduces the harm caused by substance use and supporting recovery.
