he greater Cork area is fortunate to have a wide variety of Community and Voluntary Organisations addressing the needs of families and T communities affected by the misuse of alcohol and drugs. Through the Task Forces these Organisations forge greater collaboration with the Statutory Services such as the HSE, An Garda Siochana, Prison Service, Probation Service, Education and Youth Services. The European Union has always promoted the idea of subsidiary. This means empowering local communities to identify and address their own needs. This happens in the area of drug and alcohol misuse. The establishment of many services identified in this Directory is a testament to the creative responses to the problems which arise. These local community services continue to need the support of the Task Force. Addiction is a complex human condition with a deep negative impact on the mental, emotional, physical and social well-being of the person. Creative, compassionate, holistic and practical responses are required to meet the needs of those affected by addiction. The many organisations and agencies featured in this directory provide these responses on our doorsteps. More and more we have come to recognise that the drug which causes more problems than any other drug in our society is one that is legal and readily available, that is alcohol. Alcohol is now on the agenda of the Task Force and in the coming years we will work to change the culture which appears to be too tolerant towards the hazardous and problematic use of alcohol. As Chairperson of the Cork Local Drug and Alcohol Task Force I am delighted to be associated with this Directory of Drug & Alcohol Services in Cork & Kerry. I am grateful to everybody associated with this great work.

2 Foreword: Cork City Partnership
ork City Partnership Clg. delivers the Community Outreach Drug / Alcohol Awareness Project (CODAAP) for Cork city. Funding for this Cprogramme is provided by the HSE CHO4 (Drug and Alcohol Services). CODAAP addresses the need for all in the community to respond to the need for prevention of drug and alcohol misuse, by encouraging and supporting community involvement at local level and across the city. CODAAP approaches this through a range of strategies and actions including raising awareness, sharing information, education / training, prevention and building capacity. Annual updates of the Directory supports the work of all the groups across Cork & Kerry, tackling the issues of drug and alcohol misuse and a collective response between communities. The actions of all the local agencies have resulted in significant development of drug and alcohol services in the region which is so evident from this Directory, as is the depth of community commitment and engagement. I would particularly like to acknowledge the dedication of Cork City Partnerships’ two CODAAP staff, Ms. Jacqueline Daly and Ms. Mella Magee. They work directly with communities raising awareness of the issues and challenges associated with drug and alcohol misuse by providing education/ training and support for communities to tackle these. This year, we are delighted to have this publication translated into 7 languages and available online. This will help many people from our New Communities learn about and access the services listed in the directory as information will be available to them in their native language. Finally I would like to wish our staff continued success with their project work and again to thank the HSE for the continued support.
