Given rise in serious threats these days, education should play a significant role in tackling drug misuse, by providing appropriate knowledge on drugs and wider support to all pupils. On this perspective, Markline Consultancy conducts special sessions on drug education and social norms in every school with the goal of providing planned and structured learning opportunities for students to develop their knowledge, skills, and attitudes about all drugs and appreciate the advantages of a healthy lifestyle.
The definition of 'drugs' used in schools includes all over the counter and prescription medicines, all legal drugs including tobacco, alcohol, volatile substances and all illegal drugs. Evidence demonstrates that effective drug education delivered by experts to use normative, life-skills based approaches, supported by parental and community involvement contributes to reduced substance misuse and improved outcomes.
We provide creative, practical suggestions including social norms related activities in the classroom from targeting the age group between 15-18 years.
