Community Action on Youth Alcohol and Drugs - CAYAD
CAYAD is a Ministry of Health funded project to reduce drug-related harm.
Our 2008-2010 two-year plan of projects being undertaken is available on request - contact details at the foot of page.

A reference group of key community stakeholders supports the work of Nelson Tasman CAYAD.

The overarching health outcomes are:
  • Increased community ownership and capability to address drug-related issues
  • Reduced drug-related harm
  • Improved health and wellbeing of New Zealanders
There are four key outcomes we work towards:
  • Increased informed community discussion and debate about issues related to drugs.          
  • Effective policies and practices to reduce harm adopted                                                           
  • Increased local capacity to support young people in education, employment and recreation.
  • Reduced supply of drugs to young people.
