A mobile health unit has been launched to cover the Cork and Kerry region.

The drugs, alcohol and sexual health (DASH) unit is a joint community initiative between the Sexual Health Centre and the Cork Local and Southern Regional Drug & Alcohol Task Forces.

The mobile health service will travel to any and every part of Cork and Kerry, free of charge, making support, information and interventions available to all.

Executive Directior of the Sexual Health Centre, Dr Martin Davoren, says the aim of the project is to ensure equity of access, and break down barriers people face in accessing services, such as time, location and cost.

The DASH van is available to visit communities and organisations anywhere across the two counties, and for more information, contact the DASH Project Worker, Emily Barrett at 083 013 2250 or [email protected].
