About the organisation
The Organisation:
At Penington Institute, we believe in approaching drug use in a considerate and practical way to make individuals and families safer and healthier.
Frank and fiercely independent, we connect lived experience with research to improve the management of drugs – including alcohol and pharmaceuticals – through community engagement and knowledge sharing.
Our default as a society has been to pour scorn on those who use drugs and judge them harshly by seeing their problems as self-inflicted. But human beings are complex, and so is this issue.
Judging is easy. Helping is more of a challenge. Help us rise to the challenge by joining our team.
