THE SAVE YOUR BRAIN ALCOHOL & DRUG EDUCATION RESOURCE
PUTS PREVENTION FIRST

Drug Free Australia will soon offer new suite of health education modules, with a focus on Drug Use Prevention. ‘Save Your Brain’ (SYB) focuses age-appropriate resources from Year 5, through Middle School and into the Senior Secondary school level. In particular, it focusses on the impact of alcohol and other drugs on the brain. It also looks at protective factors to give teens the 'tools' to be able to negotiate anti-social requests in peer pressure situations.

For a 'sneak-peek' of Years 5-6 Module 1, plus overview of all year levels, go to: Home | Save Your Brain. Your feedback is welcome: go to: Feedback Form | Save Your Brain
