Injury & Trauma-High Risk Behaviours-Alcohol & Other Drug Use-Broken Relationships…
Lacking adequate social skills such as how to meet new people and feel relaxed at social events, lacking positive role models and attitudes, and lacking safe and fun opportunities to challenge themselves and enjoy life, youth often turn to readily available drugs and alcohol and other high-risk behaviours
A Healthy, Vibrant, Tightly Woven Community…
At Nonstop P.A.R.T.Y., students practise social skills like ice breakers and welcome wagon skills to help them meet new people and feel relaxed at social events, in order to avoid drug and alcohol use. They learn about factors affecting drug and alcohol use, including community factors and the availability of positive vs. negative opportunities, and learn the real negative consequences of drug use, ways to protect themselves against exploitative uses of drugs, strategies and motivations of drug pushers, and how to get help for themselves or someone else.
We work with the community to build in the factors that tighten the weave of our community, including safe and fun opportunities for youth to challenge themselves, engage with community, and enjoy life.
