The aims of the lesson plans are to educate young people, in an engaging and fun way, about drugs. Some of the topics covered include: how identify different drugs; the ways drugs impact our body; the patterns of addiction; how to critically analyse scientific information about drugs and some of the ways drugs can impact on our lives and the lives of those around us.
