Primary Prevention Programmes: Focus on preventing the onset of alcohol/drug use and experimentation by clarifying information, dispelling myths, exploring attitudes and providing factual information about to***co, alcohol and drugs relevant and appropriate to the age of the group. Secondary Prevention Programmes: Are designed to focus on preventing the escalation of alcohol or drug use and reducing the associated hard by educating young people on the risks associated with alcohol and drug use. The programme allows young people to develop attitudes and skills such as communication, decision making, and goal setting to enable them to make positive informed decisions about alcohol/drug use. Individual Work Programmes: Are designed to meet the specific need of the young person and may include activities on self awareness, self-esteem, confidence building, decision making, resisting peer pressure, and goal setting. What the programme involves:

Foróige's Drug & Alcohol Education & Prevention Programme engages with young people in a fun and interactive manner using a variety of approaches and activities including:
- Small group discussion
