A campaign to get Whanganui residents to think more about appropriate alcohol consumption is being carried out by the district health board this month.
Four events have been organised for what is often known as Dry July and the first of which - focused on foetal alcohol spectrum disorder - already took place on Thursday and was totally booked out.
There will also be a Relapse Prevention Group Open Day on Tuesday at Te Oranganui Iwi Health Authority's offices on Campbell St from 10am.
Attendees will experience group interventions, ask questions, learn about coping strategies from people with a 'lived-experience' of addictions, share success stories and learn about other support groups in the community.
There will be two stalls in operation on Wednesday, July 18 at 10am and another at the same time a week later at Trafalgar Square.
