The Youth Service has been working on a social media campaign tackling addiction and substance misuse among young people, in collaboration with the Care Agency and GAMPA.

Featuring five short, research-led clips performed by young actors, the initiative aims to spark honest conversations online.

In order to prepare the actors for the campaign, conversations were held with former addicts where honest feedback and lived experiences were discussed.
