IT’S ALL ABOUT THE COMMUNITY.
What is public health?
All about keeping our communities safe and healthy.
At ACADS, we are all about encouraging our community to take positive action to reduce the harm caused by alcohol and other drugs. We do this through a range of regulatory and health promotion activities including ensuring compliance with the law, involvement with alcohol and drug policy and through community action projects.
The personal and social costs of alcohol harm are far reaching, affecting the drinker, families and others in the community.
ACADS health promoters work in partnership with road safety and community wellbeing agencies each year to deliver a CAAP campaign that promotes sober driving, getting home safely and making responsible choices.
ACADS works across the Mid Canterbury district to promote health and inform and encourage people to take action to reduce the impact of harm related to alcohol and other drugs.
