BRACE Community Response

BRACE Community Response The Ballymun Youth Action Project is a Community Response to people experiencing difficulties with Drug and Alcohol use.
(1)

The Ballymun Youth Action Project (BYAP) is a community response to drug and alcohol misuse. As a response that has come from within the community of Ballymun, we strive to reduce the negative impact of drug and alcohol use on the lives of individuals and families, and on this community. We seek to do this through
* Working with individuals who are using, reducing, or who have stopped using drugs and/or alcohol;
* Supporting families impacted by drug and alcohol issues;
* Supporting the community in their work of prevention and intervention as responses to drug and alcohol issues;
* And building capacity through training and research. We believe
* That individuals with addictions can and do recover;
* The families of those affected by addiction do not have to cope alone;
* That the community can be an effective place to recover. And our ethos is rooted in
* Valuing individuality;
* Valuing the capacity of individuals, families and communities.

Karl was delighted to speak to the Committee on Drug Use about the impact and success of the Boxing Clever programme, an initiative that started in Ballymun and has now grown nationwide.
Boxing Clever shows what’s possible when education, recovery, and sport services come together through community development principles — creating the first steps that help people keep moving forward.
