Taaxwi Laas, Good Friends Addiction Counselling Service

This program provides individual counselling for clients on alcohol and drug use/abuse, helping them to develop harm reduction or cessation strategies. Clients can be referred to Residential Treatment Programs and assisted in completing their referral package. The program also refers clients to outside agencies such as Mental Health, Ministry for Children & Families, Social Development, RCMP, Haida Legal Society, Medical Doctor, Transition House, etc. Education and raising public awareness are important components to this program. This is achieved through developing and implementing prevention programs around substance abuse, coordinating community training initiatives, raising public awareness through write-ups in the Skidegate Band Council and Skidegate Health Centre newsletters and participating in the National Addictions Awareness Week.
