Walkabout

So, you’re required to do some education on the hallway.
A tried and true educational theme to talk about is alcohol. But who wants to show up for such a topic? "I've heard it all before!" you may hear them say. And some don't want to hear it anyhow. They want to drink.

Their drinking behavior can create you a lot of headaches. Isn't it so much fun to have a loud drunk on your hallway creating havoc on those around them? Puke in the halls, punched out windows, screaming, singing loud - these are problems you don't need. That's why it's important to offer alcohol education.

Now, what can you do to get across some alcohol education to the students under your care? Here are some helpful guidelines.

  • Make it interesting. Let them know they’ll learn something they’ve not known before.
  • Don’t preach. Present alcohol issues from a health and policy approach.
  • Provide a fun activity along with it (mock tails, for example).
