| Profile: |
ASCERT is the leading local alcohol and drug charity in Northern Ireland. Established in 1998, we work across NI with young people, families and individuals to reduce the harm from alcohol and/or substances through training, prevention and intervention services to help sustain positive change. We have offices in Lisburn, Belfast and Omagh. Our mission is to address alcohol and drug related issues, reduce harm and support positive change. In 2023/24 we supported almost 14,000 people through our training and prevention services and 28,000 intervention support sessions were delivered. We work with organisations on a consultative basis to develop and deliver bespoke training for businesses including staff wellbeing, alcohol and drugs policy training, suicide awareness, alcohol awareness, substance misuse, vaping, and can support HR and management to recognise signs of addiction within the workforce and how this can be dealt with in a supportive, positive way. We also provide school counselling services contracted through the Education Authority in a number of post primary & grammar schools in the Northern and Western Health and Social Trust Care areas. We are also the contracted provider for the Northern and Belfast Health & Social Care Trust’s Self Harm Intervention programme. |
