We aim to introduce an overview of prevention through the identification of responsibilities. We will strive to identify symptoms, address effects, explain addiction and identify reasons for use.

Through a structured and professionally developed program we provide a psychologically safe environment for participants to attain the best possible prevention strategies. Workshops are delivered by qualified counsellors covering drug, alcohol and smoking awareness.
