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.
