SANA Live Chat

Through the SANA Live Chat, you can talk to our counsellors about any drug-related issues that you or someone close to you might be facing.

If you are concerned your friend or family member may be taking drugs, and you don’t know who to turn to, then this is the place for you.

Live Chat aims to:

  • Provide preventive drug education (such as recognizing the warning signs of drug use, the dangers and where to seek help)
  • Promote self-efficacy in youths (that is, to educate callers on stressors, available social support and increase their awareness on these issues)
