Drugs Awareness and Alternative Pathways

<< Objectives >>Chill Pill will take a two-pronged approach to its peer health intervention. ‘Chill’ represents the need for young people to address their own well-being and mental health concerns through positive actions and behaviours, rather than resorting to drug use. ‘Pill’ represents the need to support young people through a new approach to drug education. Through this approach we aim to support young people to become peer well-being coaches to prevent drug use among their peer group.<< Implementation >>Partners will deliver:- 2 face-to-face transnational meetings- 1 transnational training activity with 14 youth workers in Finland- national piloting activities reaching 70 young people across the partner countries- national piloting reaching an additional 35 youth workers across the consortium- promotional events reaching 160 people in totalChill Pill partners will each contribute to developing, testing and translating all WP results, which are detailed under the Results section. << Results >>Chill Pill will produce the following results: 1) Toolkit for Young People which will include a Peer-led Well-being Coaching Programme and a Toolkit of Practical Activities for Digital Content Creation.2) Programme to support the Up skilling for Youth Workers, to support them to deliver our programmes and use our approaches.3) Handbook with Practitioner Recommendations for external youth workers with advice from partners and participants reflecting our experience of delivering Chill Pill.
