Empowering children and young people through prevention and education in school and beyond
Thursday 21st June 2018
On Thursday 21st June 2018, we hosted an event at Culloden and Balloch Baptist Church in Inverness, to look at the prevention of substance use among children and young people.
The event started at 1pm and finished at around 4:30pm.
There was input from Highland Alcohol and Drugs Partnership Strategy Group members, and Mentor Scotland who provided input on what works in prevention and education.
There was also a series of workshops demonstrating a range of resources and approaches – see the Event Flyer for more information.
