As part of our Year 7 Personal Development and Mutual Understanding (PDMU) programme and New Horizons topic we have a series of workshops being delivered by AYICC - Antrim Youth Information & Counselling Centre.
The ’Heads Up’ programme they deliver helps to inform young people of the dangers of drugs, alcohol and substance misuse. It also gives young people a range of coping skills which will support them in dealing with a range of issues that they may encounter in their lives.
Christina Watson from AYICC completed her first workshop this week that explored the dangers of illegal drugs. Over the next few weeks she will also conduct workshops based on alcohol and solvent abuse. The feedback from all the pupils was that the session was enjoyable and also very informative!
