The Greater Easterhouse Alcohol Awareness Project “GEAAP” is a community based alcohol project located in Glasgow. Established in 1992, GEAAP provides a variety of alcohol related services to the residents of Greater Easterhouse.

One of these services is the provision of a structured four week programme of alcohol awareness sessions to pupils in primary six and seven (aged 10 – 12 years) of local schools and more recently to schools across the East of Glasgow.

The aim of these sessions is to increase young people’s awareness and knowledge of alcohol and the related dangers associated with its use.

This site has been developed to enable GEAAP to reach out to more young people. By giving clear, factual information about alcohol we aim to increase their knowledge and awareness of alcohol related issues. By linking the gaming section of this site to the alcohol information pages, it is hoped that young people will seek out the site to play games which will lead to them learning as they play.
They can even win* prizes!

Many adults wonder when or if they should talk to their children about alcohol. Some children ask about alcohol from a very early age and an open, honest response is better than ducking the issue. Some adults feel they do not know enough about alcohol, therefore do not feel comfortable discussing the issue.

If you would like information that may help you talk to your own children about alcohol, GEAAP provide a leaflet called “How to talk to your teenager about alcohol” which has been written by a group of parents from Greater Easterhouse. General support, advice and information on alcohol related issues and details of organisations are available on the links page of this site.

We hope you find this website informative and helpful.
