Objectives

1. To develop learning resources with and for young people (YP), parents/caregivers, teachers, criminal justice and health and social care staff to equip YP with relevant skills, raise awareness and improve understanding so that they are better equipped to make positive lifestyle choices and reduce risky behaviours including the use of illicit substances.

2. Adapt and assess the feasibility of existing specialist one-to-one early interventions used by our partners for YP who use illicit substances.

3. Develop digital and social media resources to support a public health campaign aimed at raising awareness of the risks from recreational drug use.
