Further to that we seek to help families, communities and individuals in discovering resiliency developing options based on a sustainable worldview and values that enable them to make wise personal and community benefiting choices."

World Resilience Day

Founded by the Dalgarno Institute with national and international partners, World Resiliency Day promotes building resilience as a key protective factor against alcohol and drug use, particularly among young people.

While we continue to highlight substance harm, we equally emphasise building the proactive, preventative mechanisms that create resilient citizens.

D.A.R.T. Think Tank

Rationale – the “WHY?”

We here at The Dalgarno Institute have over a 150 years of both understanding and confronting the Alcohol and other drug culture and its impacts on society. Consequently we have credible scope in both our concerns and understanding of the devastation of alcohol and other drug abuse, as well as the privilege of presenting and promoting proactive and protective alternatives.

In 2009, the history and legacy of many agencies has been brought together in a collaborative and focused effort to again present to the Australian community, workable options to the often coercive sway of ‘inevitability factor ‘ that the alcohol and drug culture can have when left unchallenged.
