ABOUT US

HISTORY

The Anti Narcotics Foundation is an organization with five years worth of history. Through thick and thin, we have continuously done our level best to help our communities.

We were founded as the Enclave Organization. At the time, we had no real specific purpose beyond helping others. However, in early 2017, the original founders of the Enclave met up in the city of Duncan, and were exposed to just how bad the drug problem was. The city of Duncan, despite only having a population of around 5,000, has 150 homeless people, which equates to about 3% of the population of the city being homeless. That's triple the national average. Addiction is an unmanageable issue for the city, and you see rampant usage of heavy drugs everywhere you go.

We realized that that's our calling. To fight this horrible problem, which has gone on under the government's horrible management for years on end. And in the years since then, we have done nothing but work towards the goal of ending the opioid crisis.

WHAT WE DO

The Anti Narcotics Foundation is a specialist organization which engages in many different activities relating to community health, addiction, and education on narcotics. Some are fully developed and are now functional, and some are still in the works.

Overdose Patrol Corps

The Overdose Patrol Corps is likely the most important, if least well known of our programs. The Overdose Patrol Corps is composed of our most dedicated and well trained members, and can be seen patrolling at night. They carry critical life saving equipment, and serve the express purpose of being a rapid response team in case of an overdose. They are our best and brightest, and they serve on the front.

Student Outreach Programs

Our youth are our future, and it is important to teach them about the danger of narcotics. Programs like D.A.R.E have been known to use extremely flawed methodologies, such as attempting to demonize drugs. Not only does this not work, but there's a solid chance that it actually makes the issue worse. We aim to take a different approach through our program, based on both compassion, empathy, and understanding, but also based on helping students understand the facts on how dangerous these things are, and tactics for ensuring responsible, moderated usage if they do decide to use. People aren't machines. Expecting total abstinence isn't reasonable, and if you try to make your program totally centered around scaring people away from their use, the people who aren't deterred are left in a situation where they have no ideas on how to be responsible or moderate about their usage.

Public Outreach Programs

This is likely the most prominent of our programs, and likely where you learned about us. This is a program where we reach out to the community and interact with the public, so they can get to know us, and we can get to know you. They exist so we can maintain a dialogue with the community, and make sure you know we're still here, and we still care.

Public Service Programs

In addition to public outreach programs, the ANF runs public service programs designed to help improve the community. This could be things like giving out free food, setting up shaded areas during hot seasons, doing garbage cleanups, and the like, with the goal of generally making the communities we're in better, more pleasant places to be. This is the broadest and likely second-most prominent of our operations.

THE FUTURE

SHORT TERM

Our short term goals are to establish ourselves as a significant and reliable presence on Vancouver Island, and to open a free, publicly funded rehab facility, and to expand our public service programs

LONG TERM

Our current primary long term goal is to expand our operations to a national scale, so we can begin significantly pushing back against the crisis, and eventually bring this situation to a close.
