Under the National Drugs Strategy, 2017-2025, Task Forces “play a key role in coordinating interagency action at local-level and supporting evidence-based approaches to problem substance use, including alcohol and illegal drugs”. The WRDATF covers the “Western Region” which encompasses counties Galway, Mayo and Roscommon.

We offer evidence-based training programs to many sectors of the community in conjunction with established WRDATF projects. We design and deliver specific needs-based training, professional upskilling and capacity building, parent education, community seminars and information sessions. 

We also facilitate Substance Use education for high-risk groups and offers family support, as part of the regional WRDATF Family support team in County Roscommon. 

We support communities in County Mayo to develop individual responses to substance misuse. We also develop and support targeted initiatives in relation to substance misuse and assist in drug and alcohol policy development. 

SWMDC offers WRDATF supports in counties Mayo and Roscommon.
