Sideffect

Sideffect is a longterm client of mine, starting with the SEO copywriting of this website: http://sideffect.org.au/ (I now see that it's since been edited and reduced quite a lot - clients, right?!) I also write event collateral, grant submissions, and advertising copy for Sideffect.

 

Where to start

There is a whole raft of topics and conversations that need to be had, most of which need to happen with your teen or tween. When it comes to prevention, it can often be a daunting task to open a line of communication with your kids.

As an educational organisation, we aim to ensure that we give you tools and information to help facilitate the conversations in your own home and also find further help if it’s needed.

 

Substance use among youth

The issue of substance use among youth is one that we see in the media almost every day. The topic is often difficult to discuss and Sideffect aims to help parents discuss the issues with their children and their wider community.

 

Youth early intervention

This is the question on the lips of every parent in Australia at the moment and we believe that the answer is education. When we know better, we have the choice to do better and there is a cultural shift that needs to happen with the new generation. The ongoing effects of substance use can be life-changing, we are aiming to get our program delivered in every school in Australia, but we have also developed a parent-specific program to help you get the information you need.
