Why Invest In a Life Skills Education Programme?

Written by Richard on . Posted in Blog, DARE Resources, Government

DOES LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION WORK?

Some people believe that if we help young people to understand the consequences of drugs, alcohol and tobacco, it will increase the likelihood of their future abuse of those substances.

Others believe that such education will have little or no effect on the future involvement of young people in substance abuse.

The feedback that we receive from parents, teachers and the young people themselves tells a very different story. Understanding how abusive use of such substances can tragically affect our lives and futures and what positive steps we can take to remain safe and healthy is as important to us as is learning the Highway Code before using our roads, or learning to understand and respect wild animals before working in a zoo.
