Where do we target?
Drugs and alcohol
When are people most at risk of abusing or becoming
addicted to substances:
1. There is easy availability of the addictive
substance;
2. There is a high level of peer usage of the
addictive substance.

Where do we target?
Young men – high involvement in crime
Empathy – the absent quality
• You feel pain in the face of the suffering of another;
• That pain holds you back from causing further
suffering;
• Empathy takes you out of the trance of believing that it
is all about you, and alerts you to the predicament of
the other (Clinical Psychologist, Leonard Carr)
