Order Drugs in Focus

We publish a series of drug information booklets in our Drugs in Focus series. These booklets are aimed at parents, older teenagers, treatment workers, schools, public health units and other agencies needing good, factual and honest drug information. 

Drugs in Focus: A guide to alcohol and other drugs This booklet provides an overview of the effects of alcohol and illegal drugs.  It helps identify various drugs, provides information about those drugs, and gives advice for addressing drug-related issues.

Parent focus: Dealing with drug issues for 9 to 14 year olds This guide is designed to give parents confidence when discussing alcohol and other drugs with their children. When our children ask searching questions about themselves and the society they are growing up into, parents need to be prepared with the right information, which will help parents think through the issues and support their children.

Safety first: Helping children to stay safe This booklet is a starting point for conversations about safety between adults and children aged from 5 to 12. It provides information about a range of safety issues for young people, and discusses how we can best encourage young children to keep themselves safe.

Hosting teenage parties: Managing alcohol and other drugs When teenagers ask if they can have a party, parents often feel a bit confused and say yes without thinking through all the issues. It is important for children to have fun, celebrate and learn social skills, but no one wants drunken behaviour, property damage, personal injury and gatecrashers. Don't be daunted. This booklet looks at these issues, and outlines things you should think about when deciding whether you will hold a party, and what kind of party you will plan.
