SANA Neighbourhood Scheme was introduced in 1979 to tap resources within constituencies.Drug Abuse Prevention Committees (DAPCs) were formed comprising grassroots leaders in the respective neighbourhoods. There are currently 18 DAPCs assisting SANA to spread the anti-drug message by organising exhibitions and other activities. ‘Pledging to be Drug-Free’ has been very well received in the heartlands. In October 2009, the Central Coordinating DAPC was formed to bring together the 18 disparate DAPCs under one central taskforce to strengthen our preventive drug education outreach programmes. This committee will also play an important role to bolster the work undertaken by the SANA Support Group to provide a more sustained, structured and robust post-aftercare programme for our clients and their families. |
