This introductory lesson makes students aware of the impact that alcohol can have on emotional health.
All of our resources are flexible and can be easily adapted to suit individual teachers’ needs. The resources can be taught alongside other PSHE topics, for example, nutrition, drugs or sex education. Teachers can pick and choose which activities to use, and when to teach them.

During a lesson like this, which looks at how people feel, students might want to draw on their own experiences. To ensure that the session doesn’t get too personal, you can remind students to talk about “someone I know” rather than naming individuals.
