Strong & Deadly Futures

We acknowledge the challenges that school staff, parents and young people face during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there will be delays to community consultations as a result of the pandemic, the Strong & Deadly Futures program will still go ahead in 2021. We are very excited to work with schools and communities so if you'd like to be involved, please get in touch!

Introducing Strong & Deadly Futures

Development of Strong & Deadly Futures: Behind the Scenes

Strong & Deadly Futures is the first school-based alcohol and drug prevention program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander secondary students that is culturally inclusive, incorporates cultural strengths and focuses on empowerment of the students.

The program combines illustrated story lines with interactive classroom activities. It is currently being developed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous high school students around the country.

Want to get involved in the Strong & Deadly Futures research?

We are currently taking expressions of interest from schools / communities to participate in the next phase of our research: a cluster randomised controlled trial to test the effectiveness of Strong & Deadly Futures.

The project involves consulting with your local community to adapt the program to your area, before implementing the trial in secondary schools in term 3, 2021.

Although the consultation process has been delayed due to COVID-19, we would love to have a conversation with you about the research and how we can work together to adapt it for your community later in the year. If you are a community member or school staff member and would like to hear more about the program contact us at: info@strongdeadly.org.au or call (02) 8627 9013.
