Tis the Season: staying safe and reducing harms
Ways to stay safe and reduce the harms associated with alcohol and other drug use over the holiday season.
When you're ready
With our support you can develop a plan. This plan may include attending a group, counselling, reading some information or accessing one of our specialist services. In short we can help you make the changes you want to make.
Concerned about someone?
If you are worried about someone else’s alcohol or drug use we offer special groups and information evenings as well as individual counselling. Share and learn with others about dependency, substances, boundaries and useful coping strategies.
Cultural services
Te Atea Marino (Maori service) and Tupu (Pacific service) and the Asian service offer culturally appropriate counselling, groups, support and consultation options. Translators are available on request.
Alcohol Drug Helpline
The alcohol drug telephone helpline is only a call away. Call 0800 787 797 or text 8681 to speak with a trained counsellor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All calls are free and confidential.
