Sniffing and the brain

A flipchart to raise awareness of the effects of petrol sniffing and inhalant abuse.

The flipchart contains culturally appropriate information in plain English. The information is generic and therefore applicable nationally.

The flipchart shows a diagram on one side for the audience to see, and text relating to the diagram on the reverse side for the educators to use. The diagrams depict how petrol sniffing affects the brain and causes damage over time, and gives a positive message that people can recover from some of the effects of petrol sniffing if they stop before it is too late.

Only the cover page of the flipchart is available electronically:
