3CR CRAM GUIDE - Spring 2008

Buoyancy is a forty year old specialist drug and alcohol counselling and therapeutic activity charity. It aims to relieve the suffering caused by drugs and offers opportunities to participate in a culture of self expression and contribution. Buoyancy began airing on 3CR in October. The program particularly sets out to relieve the suffering caused by all drugs and give people words, practices and music to be okay feeling their feelings.

The Buoyancy team has The Answers at 3CR…

Buoyancy came to 3CR because…
3CR offered an opportunity for Buoyancy to contribute more powerfully in the world. It extended our capacity, in another environment, which also nurtures self expression and well being.
