The trouble with youngsters today…
• “ The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders …… They contradict their parents……… and tyrannise their teachers”.
Socrates (469 – 399
B.C.)

What is Prevention Education?
Range of strategies over long-term.
Interactive teaching techniques. These involve group activity, discussion and role play
Normative education.
Educating young people before the usual onset of drug taking – starting early
Elements of knowledge, skills and attitudes
Age- appropriate and culturally sensitive information
Involvement of parents/carers as part of a wider community approach.
Multi-component programmes where school-based education is one component in a wider campaign involving parents, the media, other agencies with an interest,
and the local community.

EXTRACT FROM THE IRISH NATIONAL DRUG STRATEGY 2009 – 2016 Research has identified risk and protective factors and these show that effective drug prevention must not rely solely on giving information on the harmfulness of drugs but must also build self-efficacy through the development of personal and social skills. Prevention and Awareness Programmes in Schools are a key element of the overall Prevention Pillar. The Social Personal and Health (SPHE) Programme is the foundation for developing awareness of drug and alcohol issues in school. It is a mandatory part of the curriculum at primary and junior cycle in second level.

•Support self esteem •Support families •Support schools and teachers
“A positive school experience (including good relationships with teachers) makes young people between 10 and 100 times less likely to drink alcohol and to use cannabis or other drugs.”
