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, schools and communities.
Our programmes are designed to help schools, 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, alcohol, MDMA and vaping. Methcon Drug Education 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 Drug Education remains the only organisation of its kind working to educate, engage and increase awareness by running programmes in companies, government departments and schools across the country. Over 150,000 people have participated and, as a result, gained a new level of understanding.
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 of drug use. 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 drug education programmes
Methcon drug education programmes are innovative and presented in an interesting and eye-opening format, designed to educate and engage everyone.
The programmes can be delivered as interactive workshops to promote a healthy and safe environment on-site at your workplace, in schools, or online.
No matter the size, Health and Safety law applies to every business. No matter the age.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was thoroughly captivated by the presentation - I learned a lot. The delivery was very clear and although there was a lot if serious information to absorb, it was not by any means boring. I would recommend this training to every agency that supports government and communtities. Thank you Dale, Methcon Group Ltd.
