Harm Elimination not Harm Minimisation
Methcon is New Zealand’s specialist drug awareness education company.
Methcon provides education, training and expert advice to help address the ever-increasing effects of substance abuse in New Zealand’s workplaces and communities.
Our programmes are designed to help businesses, government departments, community groups and organisations improve wellness and productivity. They are balanced, non-judgmental and based on our real-life experiences as former police officers.
BACKGROUND
Methcon Group Limited launched in 2005 with the goal of delivering a more balanced approach towards raising awareness of the country’s methamphetamine (P) problem, together with substances such as cannabis and alcohol. The company is now award winning and recognised both nationally and internationally as a leading provider of alcohol and drug education.
As a specialist drug awareness education provider, Methcon remains the only organisation of its kind working to educate, engage and increase awareness by running programmes in companies, government departments and secondary schools across the country. Over 150,000 people have participated and gained a new level of understanding as a result.
Our focus is on Harm Elimination rather than Harm Reduction. We believe people can make better decisions when provided with the facts on short and long-term impacts. Instead of differentiating between legal and illicit substances, we focus on wellness and understanding the health effects of drug use on the body. In our opinion, the legal status of a substance is irrelevant.
Innovative Programmes.
Methcon drug education programmes are innovative and designed to educate and engage everyone in an interesting and eye-opening format.
These programmes can be delivered as interactive workshops to promote a healthy and safe environment at your workplace, or online with our custom designed online courses.
No matter what your size, Health and Safety law applies to every business.
