for people in distress
When feeling overwhelmed, it can be difficult to know where to turn. The first step in the process is acknowledging that you are facing problems and trying to understand what might be causing them. Reaching out can be the hardest part.
A range of issues could be affecting you or someone you know at school. This can be anything from low-mood and loss of confidence to very serious issues like abuse and violence.
You are someone you know could be affected by any range of issues from day to day stresses and low-mood, to anxiety and depression that can lead to using substances as a coping method.
Counselling, art and talking therapies have positive outcomes for those facing mental health difficulties, and they can reduce the harms of substance addiction in our communities.
The pressures of modern life can sit heavy and if prolonged over a long time can cause significant mental health struggles. Speaking with a DAPL counsellor can better prepare you for them.
Self-medicating to alleviate distress from mental health struggles with drugs and alcohol can harm you and those around you. DAPL can and has helped people to break that cycle.
DAPL qualified counsellors and recovery volunteers have worked successfully to break the destructive relationship many people in our community have with drugs and alcohol.
