About CAHSICS

We help communities understand risks and act early.

CAHSICS stands for Collective Against Health and Social Ills in Communities.

Who we are

Clear information can help prevent harm.

We believe people are better able to protect their health and wellbeing when they have understandable information, practical support, a voice and a trusted path to help.

Our work may support children, young people, adults, families, caregivers, older persons and anyone affected by health risks or social harm.
