Drug and Alcohol Information and Resilience skills

(DAIR) has continued to be one of Youth Solutions’

most consistently booked programs, reaping

overwhelmingly positive results from participants and

stakeholders.

The DAIR program has continued to be flexible in 2016

– 2017 with many programs held in schools for special

purposes and alternative learning environments.

The real highlight of the program for the Youth Solutions

facilitators this year has been working and developing

rapport with the participants and stakeholders.

In 2016 – 2017 the DAIR project was delivered to a total

of 310 participants across 14 different organisations,

high schools or alternative learning environments.

Thank you to the Youth Solutions staff, teachers,

stakeholders, participants and volunteers that

contributed to and enabled DAIR to run in 2016 – 2017.

Thanks for your support! - Miriam Deshayes

The goal for DAIR in 2016 – 2017 was to decrease

alcohol and other drug use and increase resilience

levels for young people aged 14 – 16 in the Macarthur

and Wingecarribee regions by delivering a series of

workshops that cover:

The effects of alcohol and other drugs

Drugs, alcohol and the law

Standard drinks

Coping with stress and anxiety

Effective communication styles

Consequences of unsafe choices

Responding to an emergency

Help seeking and support services

In 2016 – 2017 DAIR was facilitated at 14 different

organisations with 22 groups with a total of 310

participants.

Key outputs included the inclusion of artwork as a

component of dealing with stress, which resulted in

painting participants’ “inner heroes” as a mural at the

Your Town Transition to Work Program.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive from both

participants and stakeholders, both immediately after

the program and from the 3-6 month follow up.

The project highlights from participant evaluations

include:

96.9% of respondents said they increased their knowledge about types and effects of alcohol and other drugs

96.46% of respondents said they increased their knowledge about how to be safe around alcohol and other drugs

95.67% of respondents said they increased their knowledge on what to do in an emergency

96.03% of respondents said they increased their knowledge about helpful ways to deal with stress

95.3% of respondents said they increased their knowledge about how to access support services

92.89% of respondents would recommend DAIR to a friend

The project highlights from stakeholder evaluations

include:

100% of respondents believed DAIR would help their young people make safer choices around alcohol and other drugs

100% of respondents believed DAIR would help their young people deal with stress in a helpful way

100% of respondents believed DAIR would help their young people know what to do in an emergency

100% of respondents believed DAIR would help their young people to access support services

100% of respondents believed DAIR would help young people to achieve positive health outcomes

96.16% of respondents said DAIR has helped them develop effective support strategies

100% of respondents has increased their confidence in working with young people

100% rated the information as “good”

100% of the respondents rated the facilitators as “good”

100% of the respondents would recommend DAIR to others

Options for improving the project cycle include

gathering more extensive baseline data on participants

before delivery commences.

Youth Solutions would also like to strengthen its focus

on building on the whole of community approach by

continuing to engage with parents, carers and teachers

and to commence using Youth Solutions Parent

Information Booklet to enhance this communication.

Further recommendations include to increasingly

engage with stakeholders and to source bookings

outside of the school setting.

Youth Solutions must also focus on facilitating the 4 – 6

week version of DAIR and to avoid the 3 week or less

version of DAIR, as the program worked best when

facilitators were able to develop rapport with

participants, and this is achieved best when sufficient

time is available. A full list of project recommendations

is continued within this report.

DAIR is a health promotion program for young people

consisting of 4 – 6 workshops. The workshops focus on

knowledge and skill development to reduce drug and

alcohol related harm.

DAIR also engages with high schools or alternative

learning facilities as well as parents/carers and

community groups and is tailored to the needs of each

group.

Drug and Alcohol Information and Resilience skills

(DAIR) was originally named Drug, Alcohol and

resilience Education (DARE) and originated in July

2012 – 2014.

The goal of the DARE project 2012 – 2014, was to

increase positive health outcomes for young people

aged 14 – 16 years in the Macarthur and Wingecarribee

regions by addressing drug and alcohol related harms.

Similarly, the goal for DAIR in 2016 – 2017 was to

decrease alcohol and other drug use and increase resilience levels for young people aged 14 – 16 years

by delivering a series of workshops that cover:

The effects of alcohol and other drugs

Drugs, alcohol and the law

Standard drinks

Coping with stress and anxiety

Effective communication styles

Consequences of unsafe choices

Responding to an emergency

Help seeking and support services

In 2016 – 2017, Youth Solutions received core funding

for DAIR from NSW Health and South Western Sydney

Local Health District.

The target numbers for the program in 2016 – 2017, as

outlined by NSW Health and South Western Sydney

Local Health District, were:

240 participants

18 groups

8 organisations involved

85% of participants reporting increased resilience skills (including as observed by the stakeholders)

In 2016 – 2017, DAIR achieved the following:

310 participants

22 groups

14 organisations involved

Participants and stakeholder observations reporting increased resilience skills above the 85% (results detailed in Executive Summary).

The NSW Ministry of Health, (2014) shows that alcohol-

attributable hospitalisations are highest among young

males, young Aboriginal people, and young people

living in more remote areas and lower socioeconomic

status areas. Most of these hospitalisations were for

injuries (falls, road accidents or assaults). Injuries

accounted for an overwhelming majority of alcohol-

attributed hospitalisations. Therefore, Youth Solutions

aims to ensure its DAIR program engages particularly

with young males, Aboriginal people and those living in

the lower socio economic areas of the region it covers.

In 2016 in South Western Sydney, alcohol was

identified as the primary drug of concern for 44% of

inpatient episodes as well as for non-admitted patient

cases. (Department of Health, Primary Health Network,

2016) Therefore the DAIR program particularly focuses

on alcohol safety as a key issue for young people,

building up skills and knowledge in this area.

The percentage of students who use illicit or other

substances has declined in NSW, however rates of

emergency department visits for overdoes were highest

among people aged 15 – 24 years and has risen among

females aged 15 – 19 years. This aligns with Youth

Solutions target audience for DAIR of 14 – 16 year olds

as an ideal age to target preventative and harm

reduction messages.

In 2013 over 5,000 visits to NSW emergency

departments for illicit drug use, poisoning or overdose

among children and young people were recorded,

highlighting the need for AOD prevention and harm

reduction in young people in NSW.

In NSW, the rate of hospitalisation attributed to illicit

drug use during 2012 – 2013 was approximately 35%

higher in young people aged 15 – 24 years than in the

general adult population (NSW Ministry of Health,

2014). This figure again confirms the target audience for

DAIR as young people from 14 – 16 years of age in

order to reach young people before or towards the

beginning of the higher risk age group.

Mental health and stress have been self-reported as a

top concern for young people, with one in ten young

people in South Western Sydney reporting high levels

of psychological distress (Mission Australia, 2016)

(Department of Health, Primary Health Network, 2016).

Adolescence can be a challenging, stressful and

confusing time for many young people and for some

young people more serious mental health concerns can

arise. One in four young people in Australia are living

with a mental disorder and 9% of young people

experience high to very high levels of psychological

distress (Mission Australia, 2016).

Navigating the often complex pathways into mental

health support services for young people can present

barriers to service access (Mission Australia, 2016).

Young people need the skills to cope with stress when

it arises and schools are the universal platform for

mental health awareness and encouraging help-

seeking (Mission Australia, 2016).

The DAIR program incorporates a focus on stress,

mental health and healthy ways of dealing with stress

as alternatives to AOD use. The DAIR program also

focuses on informing young people about where to get

help and support and links young people with the local

support services they can access.

South Western Sydney (SWS) has a younger age

profile than NSW with huge projected growth in young

people in the near future. By 2021, the youth population

(15 – 24 years) will increase to 137,920 people; an

additional 8,800 people (Department of Health, Primary

Health Network, 2016). This highlights the need for

youth services in SWS.

SEIFA stands for Socio-Economic Indexes For Areas.

The indexes are used to rank geographic areas across

Australia according to their socio-economic

characteristics. The Index of Relative Socioeconomic

Disadvantage (IRSD) contains indicators of

disadvantage such as low income, high unemployment

and low levels of education.

The IRSD for the Campbelltown LGA was 943 in 2011.

A number below 1,000 indicates lower socioeconomic

status. Within the Campbelltown LGA there are areas

with varying levels of disadvantage including suburbs

ranked with the greatest disadvantage, ranked 5th and

7th most disadvantaged suburbs within NSW. Within the

Camden LGA, 2 suburbs fall below the 1,000 reference

point. Within the Wingecarribee LGA, there are areas

with varying levels of disadvantage and advantage, 10

towns fall below the 1,000 reference point.

The social determinants of health, as defined by the

World Health Organisation (2008) are the

circumstances in which people grow, live, work, and age, and the systems put in place to deal with illness.

The conditions in which people live and die are, in turn,

shaped by political, social, and economical forces.

In general, people from poorer social or economic

circumstances are at greater risk of poorer health, have

higher rates of illness, disability and death, and live

shorter lives than those who are more advantaged

(Mackenbach JP 2015).

Prevention activities have the potential to tackle risk

factors of substance use as well as preventing onset,

halting progression or reducing further health and social

harm of substance use disorders (World Health

Organisation, 2017).

The DAIR program prioritises marginalised

communities and takes a preventative approach. The

DAIR program also acknowledges the importance of

partnerships and collaboration, and therefore works

with many organisations throughout the Macarthur and

Wingecarribee regions of NSW to best serve its young

people.

Collaboration between levels of government, non-

government agencies and communities is the way

forward to reduce risk drinking through targeted

strategies, to create healthy environments, and to

further develop evidence of better practice in

preventative programs (South Western Sydney Local

Health District, 2013).

Building program participants resilience skills is a key

focus of the program. This is highlighted in the program

name - Drug and Alcohol Information and Resilience

skills (DAIR).

By building a young person’s capacity for resilience, the

necessity for him or her to rely on substance use as a

coping mechanism can be reduced or removed. (Crane,

P., Buckley, J. and Francis, C. 2012).

The intention is to enable young people to gain as much

control as possible over their own health and wellbeing

and in particular, their alcohol and other drug (AOD)

use. By working closely with young people, practitioners

strive to establish a range of viable alternatives to AOD

use as a way of meeting needs and coping with life’s

challenges (Crane, P., Buckley, J. and Francis, C.

2012).

The DAIR program addresses this though workshops

focused on mental health, healthy ways of dealing with

stress, communication skills, goal setting skills,

accessing help and support as well as alcohol and other

drug information.

Harm minimisation is a framework acknowledging that

alcohol and other drug use will always be a part of

society and therefore, it incorporates policies and

strategies which aim to prevent or reduce alcohol and

other drug related harms.

Harm minimisation includes:

Supply reduction

Demand reduction

Harm reduction

Harm reduction aims to reduce, minimise or limit the

harm done to both individual and community through

use of AOD. It is the overriding goal of both federal and

NSW policies in the AOD sector (Tracey Greenberg,

2015).

Good youth AOD service delivery is well founded, client-

centred / socio-culturally relevant, holistic, focused on

improvement and outcomes. To achieve this, good

youth AOD practice is relationship based, situationally

responsive, developmentally responsive, of sufficient

duration and intensity, well connected to services,

supports and resources, inquiry oriented (Crane, P.,

Buckley, J. and Francis, C, 2012).

These qualities underpin the work the DAIR program

seeks to achieve through ongoing workshops, tailored

program delivery and working in partnership with other

organisations.

Youth Solutions’ evaluation of DAIR was multi-faceted,

including:

Service user evaluation forms

Stakeholder evaluations forms

Internal evaluations by Youth Solutions

All participants are asked to complete a pre-evaluation

survey in the first session of the program, measuring

current knowledge as a baseline (ET.2.1 – DAIR

Service User – Pre Evaluation).

At the end of the final DAIR session participants are

asked to complete the post-evaluation survey

measuring knowledge and skill increase (ET.2.2 – DAIR

Service User – Post Evaluation).

After three months’ time participants are asked to

complete a follow up evaluation survey measuring their

skills retained since the program (ET.2.4 – DAIR Young

Person – Follow Up Evaluation).

All stakeholders, including support teachers, and

coordinators are asked to complete a post-evaluation

survey, measuring the observed knowledge and skill

increase or participants (ET.2.3 – DAIR Stakeholder –

Post Evaluation).

After three months’ time stakeholders are asked to

complete a follow up evaluation survey measuring

perceived skills retained since the program (ET.2.5 –

DAIR Support Worker – Follow Up Evaluation).

Youth Solutions’ staff complete an internal evaluation

after each workshop, noting activities facilitated,

strengths, challenges and recommendations to

establish and communicate best practice for workshop

delivery.

At the conclusion of DAIR for 2016 – 2017 all Youth

Solutions staff participated in an overall project

evaluation, noting strengths, challenges and

recommendations which will be used to inform the next

project cycle of DAIR.

SurveyMonkey was used to analyse all quantitative data

for the surveys. Qualitative data is recorded in Youth

Solutions’ Consumer Feedback Register. Both are

reported to stakeholders at the conclusion of each

workshop series. Furthermore DAIR Key Performance

Indicators (KPIs) are reported to NSW Health and

SWSLHD on a quarterly basis.

A summary of all evaluation data for DAIR in 2016 –

2017 is contained within this report.

A total of 310 participants were part of DAIR in 2016 –

2017. The project target was 240 participants.

The gender of participants is shown below in a table

taken from data received in the Service User Pre

Evaluation Survey (ET.2.1 – DAIR Service User – Pre

Evaluation)

Majority of participants were 14 years of age (41.3%,

the second most common age was 17 years (16.99%),

followed by 16 years of age (13.13%), followed by 13

and 15 years of age (both 11.58%). The remaining small

proportion of participants was made up of 18 year olds

(2.70%), 20 year olds (0.77%) and 19 and 12 year olds

(both at 0.39%).

9.27% of participants were Aboriginal and 25.77% of

participants spoke another language at home.

The program was facilitated at 14 different

organisations, varying form 6 sessions to 1 sessions.

The results are shown in the table below:

DAIR was facilitated at 14 different organisations with

22 groups in 2016 – 2017.

The Youth Solutions program team met monthly to

discuss deliveries of all programs including DAIR.

Supplementary activities that arose from DAIR included

an addition of painting as a means of healthy expression

included into two programs. The paintings were

depictions of the participants’ “inner hero”.

To enchance team knowledge, in 2016 – 2017 Youth

Solutions’ Program Support Officer and Health

Promotion Officer completed a Statement of Attainment,

Introduction to Work Effectively in the Alcohol and Other

Drugs Sector and Working With Clients who are

Intoxicated, through the Centre for Community Welfare

Training.

The DAIR resource manual was updated and

developed in 2016 – 2017 to include all current facilitator

notes, workshop plans and administration

documentation to allow ease in handover for new

facilitators.

Youth Solutions’ Youth Advisory Group (YAG) members

were trained in the facilitations of DAIR during YAG

meetings.

The DAIR program also received a nomination for the

2017 ZEST Awards in the category for Exceptional

Project within a Not for Profit Organisation.

Feedback received on Stakeholder Evaluations:

Student focused learning - students were engaged.

(Support Teacher Robert Townson High School)

I was very impressed with the discussion format. The presenter was very personable and established an excellent working relationship with the students.

(Support Teacher Robert Townson High School)

Students were engaged in activities and all students had a chance to speak and share answers which was good!

(Support Teacher Robert Townson High School)

Maybe there should be some discussion of the ramifications of drug/alcohol use - i.e. violence/sexual assault etc.

(Support Teacher Robert Townson High School)

Facilitator was very encouraging with the students and had a gentle manner.

(Support Teacher Robert Townson High School)

As a behavioural school the facilitator worked extremely well with difficult students

(Support Teacher Glenfield Park School)

The interactive activities worked well. (Support Teacher Lomandra School)

Well presented, great content. Students really enjoyed the activities and got a lot out of the program.

(Support Teacher Ajuga School)

“Excellent” (Support Teacher YWCA NSW Y Quest)

Feedback received on Stakeholder Follow-Up

Evaluations:

How helpful has DAIR been to your young people?

Very helpful (Support Teacher Camden High School)

Very helpful (Lomandra School, Support Teacher)

Very helpful (Macarthur Adventist College, Support Teacher)

Securing sufficient bookings for DAIR was achieved

DAIR is a consistently solid program for Youth Solutions

Positive feedback across the board regarding content, facilitators and activities

Positive program evaluations received from participants and stakeholders

Adaptability and versatility of the program, with opportunities to improve, change and swap activities and content to suit the needs of the participants

Youth Solutions staff feel confident with delivering DAIR

The program resource manual is comprehensive and can be picked up easily be any staff member to be facilitated

Continued return bookings – DAIR has built and continues to build great relationships with schools and community groups

Potential for donations for bookings, potential for participants to join Youth Solutions Youth Network, Youth Advisory Group and ask for stakeholders to become Youth Solutions association members

Good mix of skill and knowledge development for the participants

Full program covers a range of important topics for building resilience and preventing AOD harm

The need to continually update and bring fresh activities, particularly in the stress and mental health workshops

Drug information can be excessive for participants

Baseline data on participants for some workshops was lacking solid data before delivering program

The 3 session version of the program leaves out too much information and isn’t ideal

School time constraints in finding availability for the 6 week program

Engaging parents, carers and school

Key considerations that may have impacted on the

evaluation results include:

310 participants took part in DAIR however 261 participants completed the DAIR - Service User Pre Evaluation 2016 – 2017, and 256 participants completed the DAIR – Service User Post Evaluation 2016-2017

Participant follow up evaluation survey received 83 responses out of 310 participants with 62 of these responses from a 3 session DAIR (which does not include all content)

Only 3 stakeholder follow up evaluations were received, however 26 stakeholder post evaluations were received

Keep drug classification information brief, use it as a re-cap of what the participants have already learnt and pick out key drugs of concerns to discuss

Use initial DAIR activities to assess prior knowledge of students and capabilities – including preferred ways of learning

Gather more extensive baseline data on participants before program delivery commences – to allow further tailoring of the program and results measured in more detail

Focus on building the “whole of community approach” – be adaptable: attend events, workshops, provide newsletter articles for parents / teachers, and commence using Parent Information Booklet

Develop and commence using the Young Person Booklet to supplement any missed content in condensed versions and or and provide participants with a take home summary

Continue to engage with stakeholders and source bookings outside of the school setting

Continue to develop new, interactive activities to enhance program

Promote the 4 – 6 week version of DAIR, the program worked best when facilitators were able to develop rapport with participants, and this is achieved best when sufficient time is available

Alcohol is a substance produced through the

fermentation of grains, vegetables and fruits. It is the

most widely used mood changing, creational drug in

Australia.

Best practice refers to interventions that have been

shown, through research and evaluation, to best

achieve approved outcomes for a particular condition or

issue. Best practice interventions are usually held up as

a model to be learned from or followed.

A drug is any substance which, when taken into the

body, alters its function physically and/or

psychologically. Excluding food, water and oxygen.

Drugs fit into three broad categories, stimulants,

depressants and hallucinogens. Exceptions include

performance enhancing drugs such as steroids, and the

contraceptive pill, which are both hormone based.

Harm minimisation is a philosophy that Youth Solutions

uses in all the services it provides. Harm minimisation

acknowledges that while no drug use is an ideal

outcome for young people, some young people despite

prevention efforts will continue to experiment, take risks

or use drugs regularly. Consequently, a range of

strategies (including those that promote no drug use)

must be utilised so as to prevent or delay transition to

further use, and reduce the harms for those young

people who are currently using.

All service delivery, activities, workshops, drug

education, campaigns and events Youth Solutions are

involved in.

Projects are a specific component of programs which

are designed to achieve an aim. This may be in a

partnership or solely a Youth Solutions project.

An act of referring someone for consultation, review,

information, education or further action.

Encompasses anyone that receives any kind of service

from Youth Solutions, 12-25 years of age.

Any person outside of the primary target group (Service

user). This includes parents/carers, police, other non-

government organisations, youth services, education

providers and the general community.

Whole of community approach is one of Youth

Solutions’ philosophies. This recognises that the

prevention and reduction of young people's drug use

and related harms are the responsibility of the entire

community. Risk factors for problematic drug use are

lodged in all aspects of the community including within

schools and families and a holistic approach is required

to address these issues.

Youth Solutions’ primary target group is young people

12 – 25 years of age.

Youth participation is one of Youth Solutions’

philosophies and acknowledges that young people must

be directly involved in identifying drug related issues of

concern, development and implementation of resulting

strategies and evaluation of outcomes.

All paid staff working for Youth Solutions.

Any person who works for Youth Solutions on a

volunteer basis

Youth Solutions advisory group made up of un-paid

young people 12 – 25 (service users).
