2025 Schedule of Available Seminar Booking Dates

We are nearly at the end of 2024 and what a year it has been! Having delivered seminars to schools around the country, we’ve noted the overwhelming issues facing school staff and students in the Alcohol and other Drug (AOD) space being Vaping, Marijuana & Alcohol. Misinformation and in many cases active targetting of young people, especially via Social Media platforms, is causing many issues. By wrapping their products/messaging into the identity, sense of belonging and connectedness of young people at a key time of their development it has enabled many to be trapped in the use of substance.

This year we have found by speaking to young people, delivering them the latest scientific and medical evidence of the detrimental impacts on physical and mental health of these devices and subtances in a non-judgemental manner, many have experienced the “light going on” as they understand drivers behind the movements. We have experienced in discussions with school staff and students themselves following our sessions that many, and in fact the majority, have bolstered their decision to not enter use and for those in the space have commenced opening up and talking about their challenges rather than using a substance, self-medicating, to “mask” or “numb” an issue in their lives.

My daughter came home and couldn’t stop talking about what she had learned, she found it fascinating and will be a strong advocate against any drug use. She will be having a strong word with her vaping Uncle out of concern for this health QLD Parent

My son came home non-stop talking about what you told him today. He admitted that he had been Vaping and was never going to do it again. I actually work in the AOD space and I’ve been talking to him for ages about this and it’s never sunk in before, maybe it was a bit of the “mum factor” but what you delivered today got through and has had a profound impact on him. I suspected he may have been Vaping but couldn’t confirm, he’s now actively talking about it. QLD Parent

Thankyou for coming here today and talking with us. I just wanted to say what you delivered was really great, you gave a lot of evidence and data and spoke to us older students without telling us what to do. You spoke in a way that made us really think and how we make choices, we appreciated that very much, we weren’t being spoken down to. I believe this is going to help a lot of people, it’s certainly helped me. My sister in Grade 9 needs to hear this. Grade 11 student VIC

We have just finalised our available dates for 2025 deliveries. Although not locked in stone 100% if you have other dates that work better for your school, this far out we can make adjustments.

Good News our seminar pricing will remain locked going into 2025 so no price increases due to the generosity of a sponsor that has assisted us to cover the gap of increases in flight, car hire and accommodation prices into 2025 from our 2024 budgets.
