3. Project CASM Fumes - The Truth About Inhalants
-
- Society & Culture
What can be done to mitigate the issue of chroming? Why do kids do it in the first place?
In the Logan area of Brisbane, Queensland, one cross-sector project sought to find those answers, bringing together police, university researchers, drug and alcohol support agencies, retailers, and the children and parents of impacted families. The findings were equal parts alarming and unexpected.
While there were useful findings from Project CASM, our discussions lead us to an ongoing tension amongst the professionals involved when it comes to educating children on the dangers of inhalant misuse. Does it help in keeping kids away, or is it only exposing them to the idea?
