Solve It, now working as Re-Solv- Substance Abuse- NPS & Solvents - Enabling informed choices
A dedicated service for young people, adults, professionals & organisations promoting understanding, awareness & education of the consequences of NPS including Solvent Abuse [aerosols, gas and glue]. We're working towards the prevention of related death, illness, accidents, crime & the impact such abuse has on the family & community. Our Charity works across Northamptonshire enabling communities to have a better knowledge, working together to promote 'Natural highs' NOT 'Chemical highs'
Why the community needs usRe-Solv offers preventative education for children, young people, parents, carers, and organisations. Our interactive workshop helps children understand what influences their decision making process. Children learn how to make decisions in risky situations,stay safe and improve their confidence. Young people & adults will identify the signs and symptoms of Solvent Abuse & NPS. They will be aware of how to support people who are 'using' & learn about health risks and effective first aid.
Our impact on the communityResults show that children have a better understanding of what affects their decision making, giving them more skills and confidence to manage risky situations. Our research shows that everyone's experience is different, but mental health is greatly affected. People believe the synthetic drugs called New Psychoactive Substances [NPS] are safe. Synthetic chemicals! No testing! Unpredictable outcomes! No idea what it is! - LEGAL DOES NOT MEAN IT IS SAFE !
