‘A Community Free from Harmful Addiction’
Mission Statement
Through its Board of Management and team of professional workers the Canal Communities Regional Addiction Service will work in an integrated and collaborative way with communities, community groups, local drug services, statutory agencies and service users to respond effectively to harmful polydrug use, alcohol use and addiction in the Canal Communities.
Canal Communities Regional Addiction Service (CCRAS) is a Company limited by guarantee with Charitable Status and overseen by a voluntary management committee. It is tasked by the Canal Communities Local Drug and Alcohol Task Force (CCLDATF) with implementing a range of initiatives to address substance misuse and its causes and consequences on a regional basis within the Canal Communities area.
CCRAS has a loyal and dedicated team of professional staff that operate across the Canal Communities of Dublin 8. The company takes a strategic and integrated approach to addressing harmful addiction in the Canal Communities. The work of the staff reflects the priorities of the company with a strong focus on prevention, early intervention, treatment and rehabilitation embedded within a community development ethos and a commitment to social inclusion, equality, dignity, and rights.
CCRAS endeavours to project a positive and hopeful approach to addressing harmful drug and alcohol addiction. We try to empower people and families to believe that even in the depths of their despair and hopelessness there can be progression and a pathway to survive addiction. We want to let people surviving addiction and their families know they are not alone. There are many supports in the community to help people progress from harmful addiction. CCRAS, in collaboration with its local partners has developed an integrated means to do this through education, health promotion, harm reduction, rehabilitation & treatment, drug free options and community integration supports.

Description: The Family Resource Centre Community Development Project acknowledges that Irish society has significant inequalities in relation to income, resources and power. We are aware that the gap between rich and poor continues to widen. We are also keenly aware of many sections of Irish society who are discriminated against and as a result are often marginalized and benefit less from progress made locally and nationally. The Family Resource Centre Women’s Community Development Project through its policy work at a local and national level challenges this engrained and structural inequality.

We meet people where they are at in their lives and at the core of The Family Resource Centre Community Development Project is a genuine commitment to people of all ages, gender, sexuality, race, ability etc. We value the human rights of the people we work with and we work diligently to make people aware of their rights and to protect those rights.
