We talk about the subcultures within the 'teen' bracket, how to engage youth audiences to influence behaviour, whether that's preventative or informative and Penny shares lots of advice on how to improve the conversation, better understand the drivers of drug use and to develop the right mix of measures to indicate attitude and behaviours are changing.
