Empowering individuals and communities in the Eastern Region to maximise their health and improve their lives by reducing the harmful effects of alcohol and drugs and the problems associated with their use.
MISSION
As a core service within the three Community Health partners EDAS provides assessment, counselling, health promotion and related services to individuals, families and communities at risk of harmful alcohol and drug use. We work in partnership with other Alcohol and Drug Treatment service providers and other sectors, including Mental Health, to develop best practice responses to current and emerging patterns of alcohol and drug use and their associated harms.
VALUES
Our values are built on those of our three Community Health partners including quality, respect, integrity, partnerships, leadership, accountability, and innovation. These values underpin our approach and our work with partners, individuals and the community.
