Our Mission
Dalgarno Institute - Our Mission
Mission Statement
“Our mission is to assist Governments, Communities, Schools, Sporting Clubs, Service Clubs and other community groups to rediscover the proactive and protective options of best practice prevention models in the alcohol and other drug arena. In so doing to present society and the emerging generation, with positive and viable prevention and demand reduction options around alcohol and substance use and abuse; including development of core protective factors for all of community demographics and sound change facilitation models that build resilience and strength into community settings.”
In fulfilling this mission we envision the following…
“To shift the community and particularly adolescent, young adult and family attitudes about alcohol and other drugs away from the cultural expectation of participation, to consider the best health practice of ‘not having to’. Through our Education, Advocacy and Resource process we seek to relevantly engage, educate and recalibrate culture values and develop community and individual resiliency through ‘Fence building’ (as different to ambulance driving’) processes including demand reduction focused curriculum delivery, training, strategic partnerships and sponsorship of other proactive primary prevention-based community strategies.”

There isn’t merely data sharing - it isn't about promoting a 'one dimensional' legislative solution to a complex problem
Don’t Legalize Drugs exists to counter the growing push to normalize and legalize harmful drug use. Despite claims that “the war on drugs has failed,” legal access doesn’t make drugs safer or less damaging. It simply makes them more available—especially to young people.
