Meet the MacPhersons - Diversionary Activities
Listen to the scenario below

- 63% of children who never drink alcohol take part in a hobby at least once a week
- Involvement with a hobby, sports team or club tends to be associated with young people NOT taking part in risky drinking
- When asked, young people report they drink because they have nothing else to do
- Family activities provide opportunities for young people to build strong relationships and gain self confidence
- Creating social opportunites for young people encourages them to make healthier choices and can dissuade them from drinking.
