Social media makes access to drugs easy, normalising use. By the time a young person reaches 18 they are more than likely going to have had to make a decision about drugs. According to the National Crime Agency “consuming illegal drugs is increasingly dangerous with a rising death toll”. There is often no knowing what is in the pills or vapes young people are using. Teachers are often not trained in drug education and so we are filling a vital gap – one that could save a life.

Our multi-component approach to drug education involves young people, parents, teachers and professionals, and a range of methods to give the information and life skills needed. Our vision is to support young people to make safer choices and reduce harm, through increasing their understanding of the effects and risks of drugs, and improving their skills and resilience.
