Strong Connected Communities

Our local community can play a big role in preventing and reducing harm from alcohol and other drugs.  Community led programs can help boost protective factors which help prevent alcohol and drug use and harm in young people. Protective factors can include things like;

• young people participating in regular supervised activities,
• young people spending time with and talking with their parents, and
• helping young people to feel connected to their local community, school and family.

Helping your child or teenager to become involved in some regular fun supervised activities is a great place to start. Ask around at school, call the Council, chat with local sporting clubs or churches or ask another parent what is happening near you. Many clubs and groups are looking for new young members and programs like Ticket to Play can help with costs. Hopefully it won’t take too long to find something but be prepared to try a few places before you land on the perfect match!
