Drugs and Alcohol

Some people, mostly young people and adults, can have problems with alcohol and drugs. These problems can happen for many reasons.

Using alcohol or drugs can lead to:

• Feeling sad or worried

• Getting into trouble

• Making unsafe choices

We want to help people:

• Learn good skills

• Make smart choices

• Stay safe and healthy

Just giving people facts doesn’t always change what they do. But it can help them learn the risks and make better decisions.

We try to:

• Help people use less alcohol and drugs

• Stop problems before they start

• Support people to live better lives
