Your life, your culture, you choose! (2009)

Description

The resources in this package were developed to promote positive messages and images about strong culture, families and healthy choices. These fact sheets and scenes show some of the alternative activities and lifestyles that people can engage in, rather than be caught up in the binge drinking cycle. They highlight the support that is available to help people avoid an unhealthy drinking culture.

This collection of resources contains two facts sheets and four scenarios, all six resources are in a simple poster format. The resources are no longer available in hard copy but can be downloaded from the website.
