Background:

The Stirling Local Drug Action Team (SLDAT) is a collective group of organisations working towards preventing Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) harm in the City of Stirling.

SLDAT invites community champions and key stakeholders to a series of workshops aimed at identifying, prioritising, and addressing AOD harm in the City of Stirling. We value your unique experiences, thoughts, and perspectives in tackling local AOD issues. The workshops will be facilitated by the Behaviour Change Collaborative (The BCC) and will feature guest speakers, the latest AOD information, statistics and positive prevention examples.

The visions for these workshops is to create a three year AOD Action Plan, guiding the work of Stirling LDAT members and supporting community-based initiatives. We welcome local community members with a strong interest in AOD prevention to join us on this journey alongside key organisations.
