Community Action on Youth and Drugs (CAYAD)

Community Action on Youth and Drugs (CAYAD) is a national programme funded by Manatū Hauora committed to supporting communities in preventing and reducing harm related to alcohol and other drugs.

CAYAD is positively focused on increasing opportunities for rangatahi to be healthy and reach their full potential.

  • We work with communities to identify local needs and create effective initiatives to prevent and reduce alcohol and other drugs- related harm to rangatahi.

    Our work includes improving policies, systems, and practices; community action to reduce supply of alcohol and other drugs; and raise awareness to enable rangatahi make informed choices that lead to healthier outcomes.
