The programme is linked to the upcoming launch of the Sligo City Alcohol Strategy and is also linked to European Awareness Week on Alcohol-Related Harm, 20 – 24 November 2017 - the aim of this week is to raise awareness among EU policymakers of the harms caused by alcohol and to get people thinking about alcohol, how it affects us as individuals, families, communities and society as a whole.

The projects will be promoting awareness and providing programmes in the following areas:
The effects of harmful alcohol consumption through mindfulness, nutrition and stress control workshops;
Raising awareness of harmful alcohol consumption through the medium of film and video;
The impact of alcohol related harm on young people through the use of interactive educational display boards;
The link between harmful alcohol consumption and poor mental health through awareness raising workshops;
