What is Drug Sense?
A service which supports young people and their families and aims to reduce the harm from drugs, alcohol and solvents. We encourage young people to take control of their lives and make informed choices for themselves.

Where does Drug Sense work?
Drug Sense works in communities Kirklees wide. We place particular emphasis on young people who need extra support such as those in residential or foster care, young people who are having problems, young people who are homeless or involved in the criminal justice system.

How are the young people involved?
Drug Sense actively encourages young people to become involved in positive activities which might include organising events for young people or working with Drug Sense staff to deliver drug awareness information to other young people and adults.

What advice can Drug Sense offer?
Drug Sense offers confidential specialist help to young people who are experiencing problems because of their substance use. We understand that young people do not always want to be seen in an office so we provide a service in the community, schools, youth clubs and colleges.

Does Drug Sense only provide help to young people?
No, we are also committed to supporting parents and carers and helping adults in a range of settings to deliver accurate and up to date drug awareness information to young people.
