Educating and Empowering Through Drug Awareness Workshops
At KIP Education, we believe in the power of evidence-based drug education. Our trained facilitators employ normative, life-skills approaches, supported by parental and community involvement, to deliver effective PSHE workshops. We focus on providing factually accurate and balanced information, ensuring that young people are well-informed; preparing young people not scaring them. We prioritise harm reduction, set clear boundaries, clarifying the potential health, social, and legal consequences of substance misuse. Our goal is to offer meticulously planned and structured learning opportunities for young people. We aim to empower young people to enhance their knowledge, skills, and attitudes concerning all substances. By fostering an understanding of the benefits of a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle, we encourage participants to connect this knowledge with their own actions and those of their peers.

While many schools offer extensive programs, few provide comprehensive education on mental health, self-esteem, and prevention. Our aim is to address this gap with interactive workshops tailored to fit within one class period (60 mins). Focused primarily on youths' self-esteem and confidence, we tackle issues like mental health, sexual health, addiction, self-harm, knife-crime, gangs, bullying, anxiety, social media, and body changes. Our organisation actively educates school staff, parents, and students on mental health matters, employing a therapeutic approach to help adolescents navigate challenges both at school and home. Our workshops for KS1 & KS2 cover topics such as mindfulness, bullying (including cyberbullying), self-esteem, internet safety, and more. For KS3 and above, we delve into drug awareness, alcohol addiction, sex education, LGBTQ+ issues, and more. Using interactive tools and videos, our sessions are engaging and impactful.
