13.01.2022 Our wonderful elves have collected more hampers from Father Bob and Port Phillip Community Group for our clients! Don’t forget to support our Christmas appeal: www.firststep.org.au/donate

11.01.2022 Victoria Police has launched their new strategy to treat addiction as a health issue, rather than an enforcement issue. Focused on improving community safety, Officers will be encouraged to show compassion and empathy to people who use drugs, and their families, and connect them to support services. Services like First Step. At First Step, we believe that chronic addiction is generally a long-term, painful adaptation to childhood abuse and neglect, and that timely and eff...ective treatment is a matter of social justice that benefits all of society. We welcome this contemporary approach to drug policing and the recognition that individual drug problems are first and foremost, a health issue. https://www.police.vic.gov.au/victoria-police-launch-five-y

10.01.2022 Lauris and Hayley have been busy little elves sourcing food hampers for our clients who might be home alone this Christmas. Big shout out to the good folks at The Salvation Army Australia for providing a wonderful range of items to fill our hampers with!

05.01.2022 We know the holidays should be a time of celebration. But the reality is, for many this is a difficult time of family conflict, financial strain, loneliness and grief. All this anguish is heightened for those facing addiction or recovery. We stand together with people who are working hard to turn their lives around and treat their mental illness and addiction. Please join us in making sure they have access to all the services they need in the year to come, by making a generous donation today: www.firststep.org.au/donate.

03.01.2022 Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season! https://youtu.be/l2dRUq6-H4o

01.01.2022 From all of us at First Step, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
