(1)

Our training centre offers a range of accreditted courses to empower people and communities. 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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in addiction treatment helps individuals identify and dismantle negative thought patterns and behaviors that drive substance use. By addressing the root causes of addiction, CBT equips clients with practical skills to navigate cravings, avoid triggers, and prevent relapse.

A brilliant start to the two-day Introduction to Addiction Studies programme with staff from Simon Community in the garden room of the Carmelite Centre.

Today focused on developing a deeper understanding of addiction through engaging discussions on what addiction is, how it develops, and the many factors that influence it. We also explored Zinberg’s model of Drug, Set and Setting, examining how individual mindset, environment, and substance interact to shape experiences and outcomes.

Looking forward to another day of learning, reflection, and meaningful conversation.

A wonderful session on The Boxing Clever Programme, with some inspiring visitors speaking about facing anxiety, facing fear and coming through the other side, building resilience and self belief means being challenged, it means being uncomfortable. To grow you have to get uncomfortable. Thanks guys
