| Youth is one of the key target groups for WAAC. Young people are particularly vulnerable to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV, and this risk is increased when coupled with alcohol and other drug consumption. |
K.I.S.S (Keep It Safe Summer)
|
|
The K.I.S.S program has been developed by staff and volunteers from WAAC and aims to minimise potential harms associated with unsafe sexual behaviour and alcohol and other drug use to both Leavers and the host community during end of school year celebrations.
The project will take place in a number of key locations including Rottnest Island, Perth and Dunsborough. The K.I.S.S program is designed to provide target group with information and resources to minimise potential harm resulting from various risk taking behaviours.
