SchoolTV Update: New Content   

Substance Use and Addiction

Substance use and addiction are complex issues that can affect young people in many different ways. While some may experiment out of curiosity, others may use substances as a way to manage their stress or emotions. What may begin as occasional use can sometimes become a pattern that impacts mood, motivation, and wellbeing. 

For many families, understanding substance use means looking beyond the behaviour to what might be driving it. Risk-taking is a normal part of adolescence, but for some young people, it can also be a signal that they may be struggling. 

This edition of SchoolTV guides families to help young people develop the resilience and self-awareness they need to make healthy and informed choices.
