Drugged Driving Program
Crisis intervention
Drug use and driving can be deadly, and unfortunately, the number of people behind the wheel who are under the influence of substances is the rise. Drugged driving occurs when someone is under the influence of prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and/or illegal drugs. In partnership with the John Howard Society and the RCMP. The program is designed to have young adults grade 9 and up design their own PSA on Drugged driving and the impacts. The program runs 3 weeks 2 hours per week.
Crisis intervention refers to the methods used to offer immediate, short-term help to individuals who experience an event that produces emotional, mental, physical, and behavioral distress or problems. A crisis can refer to any situation in which the individual perceives a sudden loss of their ability to use effective problem-solving and coping skills. Our staff are trained in Trauma Informed First approaches and certified in ASSIST-Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training and NVCI-Non Violent Crisis Intervention.
We believe being an ADVOCATE is : Going ABOVE and BEYOND without expecting anything in return! We do this by going into our communities and helping in any way we can. This may also include going on Mission trips to other countries but mainly means helping out the Greater Moncton Areas. Your youth will be responsible to help their communities.
