It is an overview of a more comprehensive handbook titled Alcohol/Drugs: Handbook for Parishes, which will be available to parishes that wish to make contact with the Irish Bishops’ Drugs Initiative. This booklet has been designed on the workings of ten pilot parish projects throughout Ireland. The project has been funded and supported by the Irish Bishops’ Conference and the National Drug Strategy Team. It will explore the outcomes of the pilot projects over the past two years, as well as offer help to small parish groups that may be interested in making a constructive response to preventing drug and alcohol problems in their local parishes. It outlines good practice in prevention and early intervention and illustrates the need to make links with the many services engaged in both prevention and treatment."
