Reducing harmful addiction across Cumbria
Young People's Workshops
At CADAS we believe that prevention is key when it comes to tackling harmful addiction. That's why our Young People's Team work hard delivering our education workshops to schools and groups all over Cumbria.
"I think one of the best things we do at CADAS is to work with our precious young people now, in the hopes that we won’t have to see them again later in life. All of our young people deserve to lead happy, healthy lives and Jen and Lisa are helping them to do so."
- Hollie, CADAS Schools Liaison Coordinator
What's covered?
Drugs & alcohol:
Learning outcomes include what addiction is, categories of drugs, risks and consequences, units of alcohol, the law and where to seek support. We use a variety of resources to make the session fun and engaging - think quizzes, beer goggles and group activities!
Vaping:
Learning outcomes include understanding addiction, types of addiction, smoking and vaping facts and harms, peer pressure and where to seek support. We use a variety of group activities and resources to make this session fun and engaging!
We are also running a fantastic new Stop the Start campaign across Cumberland for the 25-26 academic year. As part of this project, educational workshops will be delivered in school and youth group settings for young people aged 11-17 years. We will also be offering intervention sessions which will provide personalised 1-1 support for young people who want to quit smoking or vaping (or both). Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) will also be available where appropriate. If your school or group is based in Cumberland and you are interested in this option - please select 'vaping' from the form below and we will be in touch!
Gambling:
Learning outcomes include understanding addiction, types of gambling, gambling harms, signs of gambling addiction, keeping safe, costs, risks and consequences and where to seek support. We use a variety of resources to make the session fun and engaging - think bingo, games and group activities!
