Aware
Be Smart Be Safe aims to help you to be more aware about the substances that may be around our homes and community.
Every substance – from alcohol to painkillers, or from cigarettes to cannabis – has some effect on us.
Kids and Family
We have practical information on how you can talk to your children and the people you love about drugs to help keep them smart and safe. And that starts with us all as adults.
Everything your child learns about alcohol and drugs they learn from you first. The example you set is the most powerful message they will receive.
Mixing Drugs
Be Smart Be Safe looks the mix of drugs that available in our community and are often in our homes so that you can have a better understanding about what they do to our bodies and our brains.
It also gives you places to go and information on what you can do if you have any questions or concerns.
