Alcohol Education Trust

About This Webinar

The Alcohol Education Trust is a small focused charity which works across the UK to keep young people safe around alcohol. We are a leading early intervention charity that supports young people aged 11 – 25 in making more informed life choices through the 4,500 schools and youth organisations we support free of charge with our award-winning and highly-evaluated resources and training.

Our vision is for young people to enter adulthood having a responsible understanding of alcohol and its short- and long-term effects. We engage children of all abilities and backgrounds before they begin drinking, helping them build resilience skills, know how to avoid and resist risky situations and to look after themselves and each other in a variety of settings.

The handouts from this session are available by clicking the handout icon on the bottom right-hand corner of the video player.

You can learn more about our work and access our range of resources at: www.alcoholeducationtrust.org.
