ASCERT are a charity based in Northern Ireland. For the past 25 years we have been providing intervention and prevention services to children, young people, families and individuals who are dealing with the impact alcohol and/or substance misuse has in their lives.
We are now one of the leading and best known charities addressing drug and alcohol and other related social issues, with services across all of Northern Ireland. We have accumulated an extensive experience of evidence-based service development, planning and delivery across a range of disciplines and provide direct services to more than 10,000 people annually. Those services are providing support to communities, young people, adults and families and throughout Northern Ireland, helping them to deal with the impact of their own or someone else’s alcohol or drug use or other issues like mental health, suicide prevention or offending. Alongside this direct support, we are the main provider of training services in the areas of drugs, alcohol and suicide prevention, supporting the professional development of practitioners within the statutory and community/voluntary sectors.
