Some of you may want to do something about the drug abuse situation in your own community.
In this section we have collected tools that we think might be useful in planning and implementing an effective drug abuse prevention programme.

We have divided the tools we have collected, according to the different prevention settings or targets.

	Planning, Implementing, Monitoring And Evaluating Prevention Activities With The Active Involvement Of Youth And The Community This page contains tools to help you plan, implement, monitor and evaluate prevention activities that are effective and that involve youth at each stage of the project.
	Preventing the use of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants among young people More people use Amphetamine-Type Stimulants (ATS) worldwide than opiates and cocaine combined. After cannabis, ATS are the most common illicit drug used by young people in all the regions of the world. This page includes resources on what are ATS and what are they effects, as well as on how to plan effective activities to prevent the use of ATS among the young people in your community.
	Putting the Right Message Across to Youth The tools in this page will help develop activities to put the right message across to youth in a variety of ways, but especially with the involvement of youth.
	Prevention in School Schools are one of the common settings for drug prevention activities. This page collects many different examples, experiences and tools to help you develop effective drug prevention activities in schools.
	Working with Families Working with families, including both parents/ guardians and children, is one of the most effective approaches to prevention. However, it is sometimes difficult to involve parents, who are very busy providing and caring for the family. We have collected some tools that might be of inspiration and assistance.
	Alternative Activities Sports, drama, musical performance, visual arts... you name it. With a little help from adults, youth can organise many activities to spend their free time in a fun, challenging and constructive way. This page collects some tools to help you do it.
	Working with Vulnerable Populations In every community and country there are youth that, for various socio-economic reasons are particularly at risk of using drugs. We have collected some tools to work with these youth that are sometimes difficult to reach, or marginalised or have special needs.
