Finding a healthy balance in life can be challenging. It is easy to get off track with unhealthy lifestyle choices like drug or alcohol use to manage lifes challenges.

These choices can negatively affect our relationships, work, and health and wellbeing.

What is important is that we focus on making positive changes before substance use becomes an issue.

Too many Kiwis struggle to access the support they need before their substance use becomes harmful. Some are stuck on long waitlists. Others do not qualify for publicly funded support because their substance use is not yet severe enough.
