"We need a [...] frontline joining up of support services to make sure that young people don’t fall though the safety net". Story in @heraldscotland highlights how care experienced young people need more, and more joined-up support: https://t.co/w5d3HlX36A @shelterscotland

Alcohol is a deeply embedded part of our culture. Because of this, young people can be exposed to it younger than we think. Instead of emphasizing abstinence in ways that stigmatize, we believe in having open and honest conversations with young people. #LetsTalkPrevention

[Mentor Scotland @MentorScotland]

Read this fab interview with our Community Development Manager @DebrazebraQuinn as part of #LetsTalkPrevention.

[Mentor @Mentortweets]

Our Communications Officer Kate sat down with Community Development Manager Debra and talked all about her work #PreventingHarm [short read] https://t.co/5nXtxmXNVD #LetsTalkPrevention

[Mentor @Mentortweets]

When we spoke to young people involved in our communities’ work, we were struck by how much they wanted to use the knowledge and skills they’d gained to go on to help others. Now this is an outcome we can get behind! What do you think? #LetsTalkPrevention

[Mentor @Mentortweets]

Young people in the UK think their neighbourhoods and local communities are important and for many this is where they’re most open to learning new skills. Our communities work is central to our approach #LetsTalkPrevention https://t.co/Wg0UwjzUYB

[Mentor @Mentortweets]

We think an important part of keeping young people safe around alcohol and other drugs is about making sure they are informed. Practical advice is central to #PreventingHarm. Do you agree?

[Mentor @Mentortweets]

Education isn’t the same as prevention and our work doesn’t stop at the school gates. Schools, families and communities are central to young people’s lives, so this is where we work to contribute to an engaged prevention environment #LetsTalkPrevention https://t.co/c7FZyEXX4f

[Mentor Scotland @MentorScotland]

"Prevention is about positive engagement". Over the next few weeks, we'll be posting content exploring what prevention work is and means to us. This gem is from our Head of Community Programmes @gezlawson67. What would you add? #PreventingHarms #LetsTalkPrevention
