"Buddies" is a territory-wide project supported by the Beat Drugs Fund covering the period from May 2022 to April 2025. A series of participative and transformative activities and training are provided for ex-drug and active drug users.
Peer supporters provide outreach services by identifying hidden drug users and enhancing their motivation for drug rehabilitation. The project will also nurture peer supporters and their family members/significant others in forming Territory-wide Pilot Peer-in-a-Team to enhance drug user identity transformation. A Resource Hub which consists of drug user volunteers, rehabilitees, peer supporters, family members or significant others through community education shall be established. The project will facilitate the community's acceptance of drug withdrawal services and the rehabilitated drug users, so that drug users can become part of the Resource Hub and contribute to society.
