Understanding Meth Harm

Meth is the problem, not our whanau.

  • Meth use often comes from a place of trauma, pain, stress, or feeling disconnected.

  • For some people, it begins as a way to cope or get through hard experiences.

  • While it may seem to help at first, meth can cause harm to health, relationships, and whānau over time.

  • Understanding meth harm means looking beyond blame and focusing on care, support, and healing.
