Helping children make healthy choices through our work with schools, parents and their communities.
To help children make healthy choices. Specially trained Educators use interactive mobile classrooms to teach positive health messages to children to help them make smart choices as young people. Emphasis is placed on teaching in a fun and interactive manner using music, sound and light effects, and Harold the Giraffe! Topics include risks associated with the use of drugs, alcohol and smoking. Programmes also include Time for Change (relationships and puberty) and bCyberwise (internet safety).
Why the community needs usThe benefits of our preventative education does not just help the children who participate but it cascades out to the greater community. If children understand internet safety and also the impact of the misuse of drugs, alcohol and other substances on their health and conduct and the dangers of addiction then they will think seriously before embarking on actions which may affect their health and futures. Crime and anti-social behaviour are often fuelled by drugs and alcohol.
Our impact on the communityAn increase in children's knowledge, skills and confidence, and the number of children choosing healthy lifestyles. A stronger sense of self esteem and self confidence. Skills to enable them to walk away with confidence from the influences and pressure they may face from others to experiment with harmful substances.Our programmes help children: to stay safe from bullying and discrimination and to have security and stability; to develop positive relationships.
