Activities to help young people make changes
Making Changes is a series of activities that help young people to think critically about their alcohol and other drug use, learn how to draw on their own strengths and take health-promoting actions.
These activities can support any young person who has used alcohol or other drugs.
People who are trained in social or health service provision can tailor their own programme by selecting the activities that fit the needs of young people they work with.
Young people learn from many experiences in their lives. These skill-based activities are designed to support young people to address alcohol and other drug-related challenges. This programme can be used to address broader wellbeing issues to develop transferable skills in other areas such as mental health and relationships.
While it has been designed for young people between 13 and 18 years of age, it can be adapted to use outside of this age bracket.
