DRIVE project
What is the DRIVE project?
DRIVE (Drug Related Intimidation & Violence Engagement) is an interagency project with systems and structures to respond to drug related intimidation and associated violence (DRIV) in Ireland.
A key objective of the DRIVE PROJECT is to build the capacity of communities around Ireland to respond to drug-related intimidation and violence
The DRIVE Project is funded via the Minister of State for Public Health & Wellbeing and the National Drug Strategy
We are aware Drug related intimidation is a serious and insidious problem that effects individuals, families, and communities across the country. It is a very complex issue that manifests differently ways in different parts of the country;
Communities, families, and individuals throughout the country are living in fear, with high levels of stress and anxiety not knowing that they can access help and support.
It can be difficult to ask for help, we hear reports that people are afraid of to look for help for fear of reprisal.
It is a way of exerting control over individuals and communities and also a means of recruiting others into criminal activities
The DRIVE project will ensure that anyone who is a victim of drug related intimidation whether they are a family member or a drug user themselves can receive non-judgemental, confidential support and access to services.
Shame and Stigma can often prevent people from accessing support. Through DRIVE, whether you are a service provider or are being intimidated, there is a pathway to support for you.
