Since its inception in 2000 in Northern NSW, RRISK has provided valuable education to Year 11 students around reducing risks associated with alcohol and drug use, driving, and celebrating. More recently, the program transitioned to online delivery via webinars. We acknowledge and appreciate the strong support schools have shown for the program over many years.
In line with emerging youth health priorities, our team is currently focusing efforts on addressing the issue of youth vaping. We will be offering education and support for High Schools through the Clouded Minds program.
Clouded Minds is a culturally appropriate, face to face program being offered across the Northern NSW footprint for years 7-9. The program is designed to educate and empower high school students about the risks of vaping and provide practical strategies to manage nicotine dependence.
We welcome any questions or expressions from interest from schools wishing to be involved. If you would like more information about Clouded Minds, please contact NNSWLHD-Smokefree@health.nsw.gov.au
