Through her work with a wide range of people in the community Mary-Louise Myers is well aware of the devastating impact that drugs and alcohol have not only on the individual but the community at large.  It is for this reason she is dedicated to supporting community initiates such as Drug & Alcohol Community Advisory Committee (DACACS) that seek to address this problem as well as founding and initiating Drug and Alcohol community  programs. She is also a Smart Recovery Facilitator.

​

SMART Recovery is a free group program that assists people with problematic behaviours, including addiction to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, food, shopping, Internet and others. Guided by trained peers and professionals, participants come to help themselves and each other using a variety of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and motivational tools.
