There will be lots of online activities, opportunities and events available for children and young people between 12-24 years of age - check the Youth Week events page for an event near you. Most public libraries also have a Youth Week program of events and activities, so check with your local library.

Youth Week is also a great time to brush up on how alcohol and other drugs can affect young people. Did you know that adolescence is a significant time of brain development that can be impacted by alcohol and other drugs? That alcohol and other drugs can negatively affect mental health? Or that there are youth-focused services available to help and support young people?

Check out the information and support available on the Drug and alcohol information for young people page or test your knowledge of alcohol and other drugs with an online quiz.
