Communities and Families Tackling Addiction

Closed

All partner areas covered by the CAFTA project have a history of drug-related problems, often related to their coastal location - either as a commercial shipping port or a sea-side tourist resort. The CAFTA project aims to create a cross-border network bringing together professionals, families, and communities who suffer the impacts of drug addiction, from Calais, Rotterdam and Brighton & Hove. This “Platform for addicts” will allow partners to share best-practice in a cross-border environment in order to up-skill their workforce, improve young people’s awareness of drugs and to support families to better deal with a substance misuser and facilitate this person’s recovery. At the core of the CAFTA project is the empowerment of families and communities, using them as a key resource to tackle addiction.
