Through different activities and interest classes, we aim to cultivate the attitudes of the high risk non-Chinese ethnic youths to resist drug abuse, identify and intervene early for hidden non-Chinese ethnic young drug abusers, as well as raising their awareness of seeking help and support. In addition, participants can understand the harms and criminal responsibilities related to drugs. Besides, we strengthen the supports for parents or caregivers of high risk non- Chinese ethnic youths, by increasing their parental skills and the awareness on early help seeking and understanding towards the drug problems among youths. The Project puts emphasis on physical outreaching service (including mid-night outreaching service) in areas where non- Chinese ethnic youths gather, so as to expand our service coverage and hence enhancing their awareness of our service. Also, we not only set up a hotline query service for service users to receive immediate response on drug-related query or other emotional support, but also conducting an online outreaching service via social media platforms to provide the anti-drug and health messages, in order to strengthen non-Chinese youths’ health awareness and provide platforms to those hidden young drug users to seek help. In addition, we organise different training activities and interest classes according to the interests of high risk non-Chinese ethnic youths, in order to enhance their self-efficacy, thereby developing their anti-drug ability and reducing the possibility of drug abuse. Furthermore, this intervention service helps us build up relationships with high risk non-Chinese ethnic youths and peer supporters, whom raise their awareness of seeking support from us. After conducting an assessment by social workers and peer supporters, service users will be provided with appropriate referral and follow-up services according to their needs and situations, such as drug rehabilitation services, vocational training services, counselling services etc. Service Overview 服務概覽
