Help me!

This world needs you,
as I need your hand…
This world loves you,
as I love your soul.
Help me, when I’m alone,
when something worries me,
and I will give you something else,
I will teach you what I know!
Help me when I need you in trouble!
Help me, when it is scary,
and I will free you from another danger!
Here is my hand, let it protect you, so you will not worry.
I give it to you, my powers, my heart…
Lets help each other with whatever is possible…
Lets live holding our hands!

Alcogoggles

The alcogoggles that simulate vision with different concentration of alcohol in the blood (e.g. between 0.7 and 1 promile), allow the participant to experience vision under influence while actually being sober.
The alcogoggles are an internationally popular evidenced-based prevention tool used to educate people of all ages about the consequences of alcohol misuse and abuse. The goggles use special lens technology that allows the wearer to experience a realistic simulation of impairment. They simulate six distinct impairment levels and are available in a clear or shaded version to simulate either daytime or nighttime conditions. A popular activity to conduct with them is to perform Standard Field Sobriety Tests such as walking a straight line heal-to-toe or the one-legged stand. Due to the loss of balance and equilibrium produced by the goggles, the wearer will exhibit behaviors that are similar to that of someone under the influence of alcohol and other drugs.

Partypeers

VAD – Belgium

Partypeers objectives are:

- Informing and sensitizing about the effects and risks of alcohol and illegal drugs use in recreational settings.
- Informing and sensitizing about the effects and risks of alcohol, illegal drugs use and tiredness on driving skills.
- Informing about the legal aspects of driving under influence of alcohol and illegal drugs.
- Drivers take a break (pit stop) on their way home.

Volunteers give information and advice to youngsters who take drugs, or who are thinking about taking drugs. The goal is that party people can make informed choices about their health and their night out. The volunteers do not take a point of view against or pro drugs, we acknowledge drugs as an inconvenient reality containing risks that can be prevented or minimized by specific actions/interventions. All the info is collected and available on website(s).
In this campaign the volunteers will, in addition to their normal topics, inform drivers on the effects of alcohol, drugs use and tiredness on driving skills (using flyers and banners). They will motivate drivers not to drink or use drugs during the party and they motivate them to take some rest from time to time in our relax seeds. After the party the sober drivers receive a goody bag with (fruit, a drink and some small gadgets). The drivers will be motivated to make a ‘pit stop’ at one of the petrol stations that we selected on the main highways on the way home. If they stop there (to take a break or do a pawernap) they receive a leaflet with a ‘pit stop code’. At home they can enter this code on our campaign website and choose their price.
