BRACE Community Response The Ballymun Youth Action Project is a Community Response to people experiencing difficulties with Drug and Alcohol use.
(1)

The Ballymun Youth Action Project (BYAP) is a community response to drug and alcohol misuse. As a response that has come from within the community of Ballymun, we strive to reduce the negative impact of drug and alcohol use on the lives of individuals and families, and on this community. We seek to do this through
* Working with individuals who are using, reducing, or who have stopped using drugs and/or alcohol;
* Supporting families impacted by drug and alcohol issues;
* Supporting the community in their work of prevention and intervention as responses to drug and alcohol issues;
* And building capacity through training and research. We believe
* That individuals with addictions can and do recover;
* The families of those affected by addiction do not have to cope alone;
* That the community can be an effective place to recover. And our ethos is rooted in
* Valuing individuality;
* Valuing the capacity of individuals, families and communities.

HSE warns of high-strength M**A in circulation this Christmas

The HSE is urging people to be aware of significant changes in the M**A market as we enter the busy Christmas and New Year period.
HSE drug-checking, the only service in Ireland analysing substances submitted for harm-reduction purposes, has confirmed M**A products ranging from 0mg to over 300mg this year.

Without direct intervention, it is hard to identify what a typical or average dose is for a person. It is also difficult to identify which product may have extra risk.

People are reminded to apply harm reduction steps to help reduce the harms. We have circulated posters to a number of venues and are asking stakeholders to download our communications pack to help circulate harm reduction messages.

Our Boxing Clever programme is now open for applications. Contact Karl for more information, 085 252 7308
