Through different activities and interest classes, we aim to cultivate the high-risk ethnically diverse youths with the attitude to resist drug abuse, identify and intervene early for hidden ethnically diverse young drug abusers, as well as raise their awareness of seeking help and support. In addition, participants can understand the harms and criminal responsibilities related to drugs. We also strengthen the support for parents or caregivers of high-risk ethnically diverse youths, by increasing their parental skills and the awareness of early help-seeking and understanding towards the drug problems among youths. The Project puts emphasis on physical outreach service (including midnight outreach service) in areas where ethnically diverse youths gather, so as to expand our service coverage and enhance their awareness of our service. Also, we do not only set up a hotline for service users to receive immediate responses on drug-related query or other emotional support, but also conduct an online outreach service via social media platforms to provide the anti-drug and health messages, in order to strengthen ethnically diverse youths’ health awareness and provide platforms to those hidden young drug users to seek help. In addition, we organise different training activities and interest classes according to the interests of high-risk ethnically diverse youths, in order to enhance their self-efficacy, thereby developing their anti-drug ability and reducing the possibility of drug abuse. Furthermore, this intervention service helps us build up relationships with the youths and peer supporters, raise their awareness of seeking support from us. After conducting an assessment by social workers and peer supporters, who service users will be provided with appropriate referral and follow-up services according to their needs and situations, such as drug rehabilitation services, vocational training services, counselling services etc.
