I manage a drug and alcohol service in an Indigenous Community. We have been using a program called "Putting Youth in the Picture" with the local High School Students. This program has generated a forum where adolescents are able to talk openly while being educated with impact on social and emotional well-being of excessice alcohol use. The young people have responded positively to this program and appear eager for each session. Whether this is going to be effective in the long term, only a longitudinal study will determine.
One of our goals is to connect with more young people like you, so we know how to do our job better.
This space has been created for you to share your questions, thoughts, concerns and ideas about alcohol. We need your help so we can make your community a healthier and safer place!
