HBU?*
*How ‘bout you?HBU?* is a way of starting an open and honest conversation with people of school age, about the decisions they are likely to have to make when faced with drugs for the first time.
These decisions are often driven by influences such as stress, peer pressure, or other substances. The HBU? exercise gives participants an opportunity to form their decisions in a safe space, during a guided conversation with an adult and their peers.

"Youth Commission members had really positive feedback for On The Brink. They felt that the videos opened up opportunity for discussion without judgement and that the storyline was realistic and more engaging than traditional drug and alcohol education." Emily Blavins.
