Mission:
Vision:
A Community Free from Harmful Addiction
Through its Board of Management and team of professional workers the Canal Communities Regional Addiction Service will work in an integrated and collaborative way with services users, their families,
communities, community groups, local drug services and statutory agencies to respond effectively to the causes and consequences of poly-drug use, alcohol use and addiction in the Canal Communities.
Ethos and Values
The approach taken by the Canal Communities Regional Addiction Service is governed by:
- Equality:
CCRAS will consciously, in its work and strategy, actively connect the conditions of inequality and social exclusion to problematic substance using behaviour and harmful addiction. - A Compassionate, Respectful and Person-Centred approach:
Seeing the person behind the behaviour and supporting them without judgement. - A Commitment to building Trusting Relationships:
To build trust with people using our services, peers, projects, key stakeholders and the community. - Hope:
Instilling hope, supporting transformation, activating strengths and realising potential among individuals, families and the wider community affected by drug use. - Self-Evaluation:
The organisation will continue to evaluate and modify its own practice to ensure it is effectively responding to the changing needs of those who connect with CCRAS.
