The Inclusion Isle of Wight campaign is promoting alcohol awareness with a clear message: you don’t need alcohol to have fun, feel happy, or relax. The campaign highlights that millions of people are choosing to cut down or abstain from drinking and are experiencing significant benefits. By offering tools like the “Rethink Your Drink” quiz, Inclusion IOW encourages individuals to understand the impact of alcohol on their health and make informed decisions to lower their risks. The initiative provides free, confidential advice to those affected by alcohol or drug use, supporting Islanders of all ages with accessible resources.

Inclusion IOW tailors its support based on individual needs, whether someone is a social drinker seeking brief advice or someone whose drinking has become problematic. Their approach involves actively involving individuals in their recovery planning and combining personal goals with professional expertise. The campaign emphasizes the importance of listening to the community, offering personalized advice and treatment options ranging from reducing alcohol consumption to complete cessation. Inclusion IOW aims to provide comprehensive support, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their level of need, finds appropriate help and guidance.
