Drug education resources
BY JENELLE CLEARY
One epidemic of the new millenium is the increase in drug
use across all demographics.
Education departments across Australia have varying policies
and information sources regarding drug education and prevention
dealing with alcohol, smoking and illegal drugs.
Along with other organisations, such as Life
Education Australia, teachers and the wider school community
are playing a pivotal role in ensuring that from primary school
onwards, children understand the dangers of drug use.
On a whole, drug education programs deal with the areas of
peer pressure, addiction, health effects and social implications
of drug use, legal issues and help agencies that can assist
in any situations.
Listed below are some of the online drug education websites
that are ideal for students and teachers.
