No Brainer
The Dalgarno Institute is one of Australia's longest-standing community-based health education charities. As an Alcohol & Other Drug (AOD) Education, Advocacy and Resourcing Coalition, we work to make our communities safer, healthier, and more resilient.
FENCE BUILDER STORY
“Our passion is to see young people, families and communities be equipped and resourced with an holistic understanding not only of the destructive elements of the Alcohol and other drug arena, but more so the motivators and causal affects behind the symptom of Alcohol and other Drug use.
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.”
