The Drug Education Forum
The Drug Education Forum brings together drug education providers, educators and practitioners from across the UK as a Community of Practice. Visit us: https://drugeducationforum.org.uk/ We believe that every young person in the UK should have access to excellent, evidence-based, age-appropriate drug education, to enable them to make choices about drugs that are informed, independent and will prevent or reduce risk and harm. The Drug Education Forum is led by the DSM Foundation, bringing together drug education providers, educators and practitioners from across the UK who are committed to ensuring this happens.

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
