Substance create drug and alcohol awareness and harm minimisation publications and public health social marketing campaigns.
We do this by:
• Identifying non-use as an effective choice in minimising harm.
• Not endorsing or condemning drug and alcohol use or drug and alcohol users.
• Acknowledging that people use drugs and alcohol for different reasons and with differing outcomes, for both the individual and their communities.
• Providing credible, non-judgemental, and accurate information on the consequences of substance use and how to minimise the risks.
SOCIAL MARKETING
Members of the Substance team have over 25 years of creating harm reduction materials and interventions around Substance misuse and during the mid eighties HIV prevention campaigns and drug awareness publications for ecstasy users.
Since that time we have collaborated with agencies across the UK to produce health information and interventions on STI's, alcohol and other substances. Our recent projects include an alcohol campaign for Dudley PCT aimed at reducing the hospital admissions caused by alcohol and a complete re-brand for the International Harm Reduction Association (IHRA)

THE SUBSTANCE SHOP
The Substance shop contains publications on substances including alcohol and cocaine (cocaetylene), skunk, binge drinking and legal/illegal highs. We also have a section containing free factsheets on new and emerging drugs, to which we will add other drug and alcohol factsheets in the future. Subscribe to our newsletter and we will let you know as more become available.
Publications
All of our publications are researched, peer reviewed, checked and evaluated to ensure the information is correct, the most current available and pitched at the correct level for the age and requirements of the target audience, before they are made available in the shop.
Design
Credible and accurate information is at the core of everything we do, but we also acknowledge that in a visually literate world the visual style, structure and design play an important role in connecting with the target audience.
Design is a powerful tool that helps communicate the message to the target audience in a style that connects and gives the information credibility and value. So we constantly re-evaluate and up-date our publications to ensure they contain the most current information possible, in the most effective style and format.
