Are you a school leader or teacher worried about substance use in your school?

The numbers are stark:

28% of teens have tried vapes (3)
65% of students have used alcohol (1)
9.3% used cannabis (2)

These substances hurt student health, grades, and futures in ways we see daily in Australian schools. This webinar will give you tools to spot substance use early and help your students stay substance-free.

Without action, the costs keep rising: missed classes, failed grades, and health problems that start now and last for years.

This free session will give you:

Real facts your students need to hear.
Practical responses that work in the moment.
Tools that engage without preaching.
