Dalgarno Institute Ambassadors - Champions for a DRUG FREE CHILDHOOD COMMUNITY
Welcome to the Dalgarno Institute, a very long-standing not-for-profit movement dedicated to promoting resilient and fully empowered living without the potential impediment of alcohol and other drug use (AOD). Our mission, in part, is to combat the narrative propagated by culture shaping media that normalises drug and alcohol use. Instead, we aim to educate, empower and equip individuals, particularly our youth, to make informed, healthy decisions about substance use.
Our Cause
At the Dalgarno Institute, we understand that the battle against alcohol and other drug use is not just about treating addiction or ‘damage management’; it’s about changing mindsets and protecting those brains. We strive to shift the narrative from one of acceptance and normalisation to one of prevention and education. Through our initiatives, we work tirelessly to dispel myths, challenge misinformation, and promote the benefits of a full and authentic life free from the liability of AOD wrecking balls.
