Exams are almost over and plans are well underway for Schoolies Week around the nation.
Thank goodness for the Drinkwise and Red Frogs campaigns, both of whom play a vital role in fostering a safe and supportive environment during these milestone celebrations. These fundamental initiatives focus on educating young people about responsible alcohol consumption essentially promoting harm minimization strategies. By providing resources and support, Drinkwise advocates to graduating students about the life changing importance of making informed choices around alcohol consumption, helping to reduce the risks associated with excessive drinking, nationally and now internationally too.
Red Frogs, widely known for their dedicated volunteer network, offers practical on-the-ground support. Their inspiring volunteer network provide a friendly presence particularly on the Gold Coast as well as at other major event sites, engaging with school leavers with an optimistic positive approach. Their initiatives include offering free food, organizing activities, providing a safe space for young people to gather as well as to retreat to and of course red frogs.
Together, these fabulous campaigns enhance the overall experience of Schoolies Week by promoting healthy behaviors, reducing alcohol-related harm and ensuring that young people can celebrate safely. Ultimately, they contribute to the wellbeing of the community by nurturing responsible attitudes towards alcohol among future generations.
Help make sure students in your community are aware of these amazing support networks and share www.drinkwise.org.au • www.redfrogs.com.au
Future generations are relying on us all to keep these precious souls safe from themselves, from alcohol and from others.
