Community Action Project Examples
Haeata Community Campus - Ōtautahi - Christchurch
Haeata College needed a way to manage alcohol and other drug problems that would suit its students and community. Students and staff co-designed a new procedure with CAYAD’s help.
The project built student leadership and led to fewer repeat problems with AOD, fewer stand-downs, greater whānau trust in the school and further collaborative work on harm prevention.
“It’s one of the strongest processes we have… mana enhancing… non-shaming… relationship focused.”
-Rebecca Wilson, Haeata College.
