About inhalant abuse (2004)

Description

The 'About inhalant abuse' resources have been produced by the Victorian Department of Human Services for the Koori community. They are designed for community drug and alcohol workers, health professionals, and parents and relatives concerned that someone they know is sniffing inhalants.
The set of resources cover a variety of issues concerned with inhalant abuse:
The booklets explain what sniffing is, how it hurts young people, why they are doing it, and what can help. They outline the dangers of inhaling solvents. The booklets also contain ideas about how individuals can get involved as part of the community to deal with the problem.
