STRATEGIC PLAN 2022- 2025
CADAS VISION AND AMBITION
HISTORIC POSITION:
Established in 1979 by community members and professionals, CADAS’s governing document remains faithful to its initial vision and purpose. Our ‘Objects are “the promotion of the prevention of harm caused by unhealthy addictive behaviour and the use of alcohol or other psychotropic substances”.
CURRENT AMBITION FOR CUMBRIA 2022-2025:
Cumbrian Individuals, families and groups have access to high quality support surrounding addictive behaviour and substance use. For us this looks like:
• People learn harm prevention messages and make informed choices earlier in their lives - from childhood and adolescence
• People with problematic behaviour ask for and receive help earlier, before harm has fully taken hold
• People with problematic behaviour have options and choice in terms of support that suits them
OBJECTIVES:
We have prioritised four overarching objectives (shaped by need, our progress to date and the external environment) to help us fulfil our ambitions:
-
Drive a prevention agenda
-
Focus on early harm reduction interventions
-
Facilitate greater support options and ensure choice
-
Prioritise organisational sustainability to secure longevity
