Info bus: tonight to talk about alcohol and drugs
What is peer pressure and how do you deal with it? Do you know how to help a friend who has drunk too much or is overdosing on drugs?
We will be discussing these topics tonight Wednesday 10th of November from 7.30pm EDT for our info bus on Alcohol and Drugs.
Joining us tonight as a special expert guest speaker will be Professor Ian Webster. Professor Webster is the director of the Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation Foundation as well as a physician and emeritus Professor of Public Health and Community Medicine of the University of New South Wales. He is Patron of the Alcohol and other Drugs Council of Australia, Chair of the National Advisory Council on Suicide Prevention, Chair of the NSW Expert Advisory Committee on Alcohol and Drugs and President, Governing Council of The Ted Noffs Foundation. Needless to say he is a very busy man and we are extremely grateful that he is taking the time to talk with us tonight about these important issues. I hope you can join us.
