Forum for Action on Substance Abuse

Forum for Action on Substance Abuse (FASA) was a prominent non-profit organization based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that provided essential support services for substance misuse and suicide prevention. Established in 1995, the organization offered a range of services including crisis intervention, counseling, and community-based education programs for individuals and families affected by addiction. FASA was recognized for its grassroots approach to mental health and its efforts to reduce the stigma associated with drug and alcohol dependency. Despite its long-standing presence in the community, the organization faced severe financial challenges and entered administration in 2016, resulting in the closure of its facilities and the cessation of its operations.
