Overview
Reality Now, a student-centred alcohol and drug education program for secondary students. We work with schools equip young people with the skills to stay safe from drug-related harms, while closing the gap between perception and reality, grounding the choices young people make.
By fostering awareness and dispelling misconceptions, Reality Now not only educates but also cultivates a culture of responsible decision-making, ensuring that students are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of choices related to substance use, promoting a healthier and safer future.
