We work with young people, parents, teachers and professionals in schools, colleges and community groups using our evidence-based, multi-component drug and alcohol programme, developed in line with best practice for the most effective outcomes.
'Supporting young people to make safer choices about drugs'
We deliver:
- Interactive drug and alcohol education workshops by experienced drug educators for students in years 6 to 13.
- Planning and resources to teachers for evidence-based drug and alcohol education lessons and short form-time session to enable teachers to deliver Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education. Our three programmes offer a spiral curriculum that is age-appropriate and builds on prior learning.
- Training for teachers, school staff and other professionals that work with young people.
- Drug and alcohol awareness workshops for parents and carers.
- Theatre in Education professional tour of Mark Wheeller's play 'I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won't Die'.
- Youth Ambassadors programme to train and support those aged 16 to 18 years of age to become positive peer influences within their community, develop skills for life and support the Foundation in a range of ways that works for them.
