Wave of Destruction

Substance use can threaten a child's safety, learning, relationships and future. Prevention is strongest when adults look beyond the final behaviour and understand the conditions that may make risky choices more likely.

A child may encounter pressure through peers, curiosity, emotional distress, digital content, the desire to belong or silence from trusted adults. This course helps adults recognise vulnerability, create safer conversations and act early.
