The iDrinksmart campaign is a creative project involving students from five high schools in the Blue Mountains who entered a competition to produce an effective video capturing the theme that "binge drinking is never ok."

The iDrinksmart education project was a joint initiative between Mountains Youth Services Team and the Blue Mountains Women's Health and Resource Centre.

See iDrinksmart campaign for more information and video campaign.

The draft Reducing Youth Alcohol Harm Action Plan (see Library at right) was developed following consultation with youth services, health and community services, NSW Police and other stakeholders.

The draft Plan recognises the important work currently occurring in the community to reduce youth alcohol harm, and lists some additional actions that Council can implement in collaboration with other service providers.
