Campaign

Helpseekers

Helpseekers invites heavy drinkers to look at the consequences of their drinking and contact the Alcohol Drug Helpline for support.

The Helpseekers’ campaign asks heavy drinkers to answer ‘Yeah’ or ‘Nah’ to a few questions about their drinking. If they answer ‘yeah’ more often than they would like then it is suggested that they contact the Alcohol Drug Helpline.

Helpseekers ties in with Say Yeah, Nah by using the terms ‘Yeah’ and ‘Nah’.
