Drugs Action > Multi Ethnic Recovery Equality Project

Multi Ethnic Recovery Equality Project is a new partnership project between Drugs Action and Multi - Ethnic Aberdeen Ltd (MEAL).

The aims of the project are:

To increase our knowledge about how ethnic minority communities in Grampian are affected by drugs, the nature of the problems they experience and the types of help they would like to receive.

To increase awareness amongst ethnic minority communities of the nature of drugs, their effects and how to seek help for drug problems, including the nature and existence of mainstream services.

In order to fulfil these aims, individuals from ethnic minority communities are needed to participate in a short interview, for which a £5 voucher can be given for their time. All interviews are confidential - the only personal details taken are age, gender and ethnicity.

Drugs Action are also keen to provide free drugs awareness training to individuals from ethnic minority communities and organisations that work with such individuals.

If you can help with this research or would like to receive drugs awareness training, please contact: Claire Miller (Multi – Cultural Worker, Drugs Action) on 01224 577120 or email claire@drugsaction.co.uk.
