Since its creation in 2000, the Dundee Peer Education Project (DPEP) has linked with schools and communities, developing and delivering peer led approaches to tackle issues relating to drugs, smoking and alcohol across Dundee.

Writing to Reach You is a publication produced by the project and its senior peer educators. It features stories written by those with experience of substance misuse, which are brought to life with photographs captured by the peer educators. The aim of the book is to increase awareness and promote discussion surrounding the issues of recreational and problematic drug use.

Hard copies are available for £20 and can be ordered from: Dundee Peer Education Project, 18 Dock Street, Dundee, DD1 3DP.
