A-Z of Drugs and Quit

Publisher: 4 Learning / Espresso Education
Curriculum Connections: Supports PSHE/PSD courses and health care courses, physical and emotional health, responsibility for oneself and for others, encourages informed decisions about drugs and smoking, encourages a healthy, safe lifestyle. The A-Z of Drugs: the aim of this series is to inform, to disentangle myths from reality. It’s a fast moving, stylish, no nonsense guide through the minefield of drugs. The programmes give facts, information and viewpoints in a language young people understand. Upfront and honest, these programmes tackle drugs head on, delivering clear facts with strong messages, empowering young people to make informed choices for themselves. 3 x 25 minute programmes, titles: 1. A to E Covers A to E, starting with alcohol and ending with ecstasy. 2. F to O this programme starts with F for friends, it moves on to look at heroin and injecting, then explores making choices and needing to fit in. 3. P to Z Includes a look at treatment and some of the reasons why people take drugs. Quit. Quit is a series of campaigning films. Short and sharp, Quit has one aim: to discourage and stop young people from smoking. Strong, visually alluring and attention grabbing, these clever pieces will appeal to teenagers’ vanity, their sense of social injustice and their sense of humour whilst presenting the medical facts about nicotine dependency. 5 x 25 minute programmes, titles: 1. A Hole in My Neck: Few people realise that smoking can cause tongue and throat cancer. This film looks at the consequences of smoking and follows an operation to remove a smoker’s tongue. 2. Family Habit: Teenage smokers are under the impression that it’s easy to give up, they could do it any time if they wanted to. Not true. It’s as hard for them to give up as it is for their mum or dad with a 20 year habit. We set a challenge, can a teenager AND their mum give up? 3. Greg’s Story: Greg is sixteen. He dreams of being a top tennis player. He goes to school, has a younger sister and a dog. He’s just like anyone else his age, except that when he was 11 he found out that he had cancer. Greg’s utter disbelief that anyone would choose to risk going through what he has experienced first hand is a powerful reminder that life is full of hidden dangers, and that some risks jus aren’t worth taking. 4. Breath of Fresh Air: Every year the tobacco companies need to recruit 450,000 new smokers to replace those lost through illness and death, and these new smokers need to by young. This film juxtaposes cigarette commercials and testimonials from tobacco industry executives with the experience of someone who fell for their marketing strategies, Alex, a man who now talks through a stoma hole in his neck after smoking gave him cancer. 5. Dog End: An animation about passive smoking. Trying to hide his fags from his parents, a teenage boy subjects the family dog to his illicit smoke. Dog End uses black humour to explore the issue of passive smoking and the damage it inflicts. KS4, GCSE+, Scottish Level SG, NQs, Age 14-19.

Mental Health

Publisher: 4 Learning / Espresso Education
This DVD features 3 titles: Losing It, 1 x 25 minute programme, Winning the Mind Game, 1 x 25 minute programme, and Without You, 1 x 25 minute programme. Curriculum Connections: Developing confidence and responsibility. Developing a healthy, safe lifestyle. Developing good relationships. To reflect on and access strengths. The causes, symptoms and treatments for stress and depression. Self awareness, self knowledge, self confidence. Emotional health, recognising the stages of emotion associated with loss and change. Interpersonal skills. Support and reassurance. LOSING IT: One in five young people experience mental health problems, and one in ten have problems serious enough to need professional help. Taking its audience on the first steps of a journey towards understanding stress and anxiety, depression and disorder, self harm, suicide and despair, Losing It is designed to help young people and those working with them to: identify the factors that affect mental health, understand what mental health is and distinguish it from mental illness, overcome the fear and stigma associated with mental illness, develop confidence, self esteem and emotional literacy. Losing It is supported by a Science on Stage and Screen Award from The Welcome Trust. WINNING THE MIND GAME: Mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety are increasingly prevalent among young people in the UK. At their most extreme, they can kill. Suicide is the second most common cause of death among Britons under 35. Yet a lot can be done to stop things reaching such desperate and tragic ends. This programme challenges the stigma of owning up to mental health problems. It profiles three attractive, successful young people who have suffered and conquered mental illness. Their deeply moving stories prove that having a mental health problem isn’t the end of the world, and can even lead to personal growth. WITHOUT YOU: Explores the experiences of young people whose lives have been affected by bereavement. The documentary focuses on portraits of young people in very different circumstances, and traces the individual ways they have come to terms with grief and loss, and gained the strength to face the future. In particular, the programme aims to help young people to recognise the emotions associated with loss and change, deal positively with strong feelings, overcome their fears, and begin to ask for support from others and give it in return.
