Why should we be teaching young people about substance misuse?

To put it simply – because the more they know, the more able they are to make informed choices.

There’s no cast-iron way to prevent all young people from ever encountering the dangers of substance misuse, but by arming them with the facts – and making sure those facts are from a reliable source – we can make sure they understand what’s out there, what they’re likely to be faced with, and how they can stand the best possible chance of preventing themselves and others from coming to harm.
