Crossing the Line : Chris' Story and Group Story (2 Revised edition)

This publication was a second place winner in the '2009 Talk to Frank Stakeholder Awards' and is intended for audiences aged 14 (Key Stage 4) and over and should be used in conjunction with the lesson plans and extension resources provided.

This resource is a hard hitting and uncompromising drug education package with real life interviews and reconstructions.

The reconstructions combine in a compelling way to tell the stories of former heroin and crack cocaine users.

The resource is an excellent tool for engaging and retaining the attention of the intended audience.

It truly brings home the potential impact of drug addiction on individuals, families and society in general and lays out strategies to enable students/learners to understand, avoid and be aware of the potential dangers.

The DVD combined with the lesson plans and extension materials provided can be used in a variety of settings including; Drug Treatment Agencies; Community Groups; Schools, Colleges and Universities; Young Offenders Institutions, Prisons and training for a range of professionals including the Health Service and Criminal Justice sectors. The publication is supported by easy to use and innovative lesson plans (packed with interactive activities and resources), which will inform, stimulate discussion and challenge attitudes. "Crossing the Line" is also included in the Secondary Integrated PSHCE education Toolkit supplied free to all Kirklees high schools in high schools in July 2008.

The Third Edition of the Toolkit published in March 2010 is also available for purchase (ISBN 978-1-904450-45-0).
