Is prevention better than cure?

Addiction is a major problem in our community. Most addiction starts in adolescence.

A school program is now available that has been shown to significantly delay substance use among teens, called “Preventure” (developed by a Canadian psychologist).

We are working to help launch this in Northern Rivers high schools.

Please contact Dr Nathan or Jessica at the surgery if you would like to be involved and/or share with others.
