The Harm Reduction Group was formed over a year ago to identify issues around substance misuse, teenage lifestyle issues and alcohol. It was felt that though a website like this and the advertising campaign that led you here, the sites below will give different levels of information to not only young people and parents, but to anyone who is curious about the real facts on Harm Reduction.


If you are between 13 and 23+ and want to view a site with more than just information but great interactive games, go to: www.onesuffolk.co.uk/waveneyhrg (Opens new window) This site is being developed and if you want to help, use the contact address on that site or use our online form.
