The main objective of this campaign is to (1) educate students about substances and harm reduction measures to increase awareness, therefore enabling students to make informed decisions about their substance use, (2) provide increased support for students struggling with substance addiction, and making support more accessible, and (3) shift university policy from one of punishment and policing to one of support and compassion. Ultimately, this campaign aims to keep students safe while allowing them to also have fun!
Planned actions:
-
Social media campaign which includes links to online resources, support services, and opportunities for further education and engagement
-
Partnership with local organisations, such as Barod, which work to advocate for harm reduction in students
