Drug and Alcohol Support Program

NIDS—National Illicit Drug Strategy

 NIDS aims to build the capacity of families, individuals and young people to deal with issues relating to the misuse of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Illicit Drugs, and to provide early intervention for families with issues that may lead to the misuse of Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD).  Clients seeking support can self refer or be referred to the program by external services.

 Our program has partnerships with counsellors and case workers from other services and organisations to address issues such as; alcohol and drug, mental health, relationships, anger management, conflict resolution, and cultural and spiritual healing. This enables the services to work with Indigenous clients at our premises where the client feels more comfortable.  Kurbingui provides ongoing support to our clients throughout their involvement with the service they have been referred to. 

 The Drug & Alcohol program works collaboratively with all other services delivered by Kurbingui Youth Development.
