Meath Joint Policing Committee Subcommittee on Community Safety and Crime Prevention has teamed up with Meath Comhairle na nÓg and the North Eastern Regional Drugs & Alcohol Task Force (NERDATF) to create a poster campaign highlighting emergency crisis phone numbers and advice to young people on what to do in an emergency situation where a friend may have consumed too much alcohol or drugs.

The initiative, funded by Meath County Council’s Joint Policing Committee, will be rolled out across the County. Posters targeting young people will be displayed in various locations throughout the county and distributed to Meath secondary schools, Community Centre’s, Youthreach and Youth Groups. 

Speaking about the initiative, Cllr. Gillian Toole, Chairperson of the Subcommittee, said, “After networking with the subcommittee, Comhairle na nÓg, and NERDATF, the idea for the poster campaign was developed. The main goal of this campaign is to help young people seek assistance in emergency situations and know who to contact. Keeping our young people safe is paramount.”
