sheffieldism 10 #1 Posted February 28, 2008 Is anyone aware of any individuals or organisations that do educational drug talks to school kids? I remember when I was at school we had a reformed addict come round to the school to do a talk to the kids. And that’s exactly what im looking for, a reformed addict who is open enough to talk about his/her experiences to kids. If anyone is aware or has any contacts please drop me and message or reply. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
fox20thc 10 #2 Posted February 28, 2008 Not sure if they are still going but NASDAP have done some for the kids in our area in the past. (North Sheffield Drug and Alcohol Project). Another place to try would be SHED. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
astronaut77 10 #3 Posted February 28, 2008 I'm sure when I was at school we had the police come round and do one. Not sure who you'd contact, but you could ring West Bar police station on the non-emergency number and ask (don't know what the number is, sorry).

sheffieldism 10 #7 Posted March 2, 2008 Thanks everyone the info was great, im just in process of getting in touch with SHED now. Do reformed addicts work with SHED or is just a team of trained staff? Iam actually after fully reformed addicts, and heroin addicts in particular. The project is for a short educational film for south yorkshire police, hopefully to be used as a tool in schools and other educational purposes. Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sheffieldism 10 #9 Posted March 3, 2008 Are there many teachers on here who may have had reformed addicts in their schools doing talks? And would a hard hitting video also be of interest to schools? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
slimsid2000 10 #10 Posted March 3, 2008 Whatever happened to the old 'Just say no' advice. It was good advice and a simple message to understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sheffieldism 10 #11 Posted March 3, 2008 But unfortunately doesn't work, but thats a whole new thread. Back to the topic, how many events/workshops would a school have in a year for drugs awareness? and do you think more could be offered?

scarby 10 #12 Posted March 3, 2008 Kids today would probably just go and ask the "reformed addict" for a list of his/hers dealers that they used to get their gear from. Refer a friend discount too, probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
