Max HeyraudFour Four’s ongoing work with the Health Service Executive (HSE) continues this Thursday (28th May) with a live panel discussion at Wigwam, from 6-8pm, on nightlife safety, harm reduction and informed decision-making.
The discussion is part of a wider joint initiative between Four Four and the HSE to increase public awareness of drug trends in nightlife settings and promote informed choices.
A national survey conducted by Four Four in collaboration with the HSE will form the basis of the conversation. It examines attitudes and behaviours towards nightlife safety, harm reduction and decision-making in social settings, as well as insights into emerging drug trends within Ireland’s nightlife landscape. These findings will serve to ground the panel discussion in current lived experiences and data from across the sector.
