Party Safe Education™

Encounter Youth has been providing Party Safe Education™ to students, parents and teachers since 2004. We are the largest provider of alcohol and other drug education to South Australian secondary students, educating 19,500 young people and parents last year. We aim to alert, inform, and empower young people to bring about safer, more meaningful celebration. We adopt a harm minimisation approach and encourage students to ‘look after themselves and their mates’. Our program aims to reduce and prevent alcohol and other drug-related harm among young people.

We present Party Safe Education™ to Year 9-12 students, parents and teachers in schools and community groups across Australia. We are committed to a holistic approach to learning and education. Party Safe Education™ provides a consistent positive message through all the seminars. As students progress through high school, we equip them with research-based, up-to-date alcohol and other drug trends and party safe tips appropriate to their age.

Staying safe at a party is, by nature, a practical skill. This is why our Party Safe Education™ presenters not only provide information but also the practicalities of how to use that information to stay safe. We incorporate real stories and experiences from the young people we engage with in our community programs, including Schoolies Festival™ and our Hindley Street program in the Adelaide CBD.

Party Safe Education™ is a vital part of our holistic approach in providing direct relief of harm to young people facing challenging social situations. Find out more about Party Safe Education™ through our seminars page or the pages for students, parents, and teachers below.

Feedback from students and teachers

"The presenter was very professional and spoke very clearly. They explained information in detail and shared examples that students could relate to. They also made students feel comfortable to engage in the activities and discussions."
Year 11 Leader, Eastern Fleurieu School 2016
"Great interaction with students for engagement. Loved the fact that the seminar wasn’t telling the audience ‘what not to do’."
Year 9 Coordinator, Marryatville High School 2016
"Brilliant presentation. Highly engaging and well spoken presenter. I could see the engagement in our students - in particular those students who may be most at risk.... I always learn something new myself! Thank you!"
Year 12 Coordinator, Seaton High School 2016
"The seminar was good because it was leading people in the right direction while not forcing them to do the right thing. I think the seminar was well-planned and really helped me grasp what really happens at parties and how to deal with the situations the best."
Year 9 student, Portside Christian College 2016
"If I ever did find myself in a “dangerous” situation, I feel that I’d have more knowledge on how to approach it."
Year 11 student, Kildare College 2017
"I didn't realise how long alcohol stayed in the system. As a P-plate driver, I now will wait longer before driving after a party."
