Hi Damian,
You may want to look into setting up a "chill out area" for the young
people, this has been very effective at other gigs, and they have a permanent
one set up in Brisbane which may be able to assisst you.
Also for the AOD I don't know what exactly you want, but you may be able to get
in touch with MDECC (Manly Drug and Alcohol Education Centre) in Manly re:
their KIS project, and maybe having them attend. They work on a harm
minimisation approach and will go to gigs doing quick surveys and provide
information on drugs and grog to punters. They provide lollie pops, condom
packs, website cards for their website which is full of drug and alcohol
information www.kis.org.au
Hope this helps!
Michelle
Can a person find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is laced with muscle & strength
By gentleness he serves without servility, he has fought
without
There is nothing less powerful, nothing less violent; is
nothing so quick, nothing more patient.

Subject: [youthgas] Advice: Safe Events
Dear all,
Every year in the Blue Mountains we have a
large community event/festival called Winter Magic ... and ever year
large numbers of young people put themselves at risk of harm by drinking.
(apart from the obvious health issues there are
number of assaults reported each year [including
sexual assaults], and there are a number of arrests).
This year we are working toward establishing a "youth
safe place" in the hope of minimizing harm.
Can anyone recommend or suggest any
programs/strategies/supports etc that have been successful in managing youth
intoxication at events ???
We were hoping there might be a (AOD) service provided
in Sydney with a mobile team willing to come up for the day/night?
We are also interested just to hear about the little things
that people have done that has been effective!
Any thoughts or suggests will be
greatly appreciated ...
