New Psychoactive Substances

Young Addaction Halton in partnership with Halton Borough Council and Mako Education have developed an animated resource to raise the awareness and support professionals, parents and carers to understand the risks and dangers associated with New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) or so called “legal highs. The animation, which is available via YouTube, can be utilised in training sessions by professionals or be used by parents and carers to inform them of the risks to support them to speak to their children about the risks.
