I am in charge of the Adults Department. We promote preventative actions, meaning that we encourage people to have early discussions about substance use at work and in people’s free time. We run substance-free Elokolo outreach centres with volunteers. We have a 24/7 substance abuse helpline that supports substance users and their loved ones. We also advocate for the rights of substance users if their rights are not otherwise upheld.
