Education
DanceWize NSW utilises peer education to reduce drug-and-alcohol-related harm at NSW dance parties and festivals.
Our staff and volunteers, recruited from the festival, rave, doof, and dance music communities, bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, integrity, and intrinsic motivation from their own experiences within these scenes.
Care
At most events, we have a dedicated care space, located next to medical, where we can provide 1:1 peer support. This can be through a sit down and chat, or a more guided trip sit experience.
Our space is a neutral, safe space to chill out away from loud music and bright lights or unsafe situations like bullying, harassment or sexual assault.
We can provide you with a bunch of resources to make you feel better including:
blankets, bean bags and beds
hydration and snacks
games or fidget toys
safer sex resources
sterile injecting equipment
We have a range of resources, both digital and physical, that explores safer drug use and partying.
police powers and your rights
STI’s
blood-borne viruses
harm reduction information about various psychoactive drugs
alcohol and other drug support services
