Addicted-2-Life: A Nationally-Recognized Youth Substance Prevention Project

Addicted-2-Life was a psychosocial prevention project that Dr Brendan had developed and initiated with students from his Substance-Abuse Prevention Class. The project spanned the length of 1999 - 2000. The hand-pledges from thousands of young people across the country formed a Malaysian-Book of Records 2.2km long Banner of Life - Pledges of youth towards a Drug-Free Nation. It got the support of Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohammed in Putrajaya on 30 August 2000. The project was covered by major local and international press, and kept HELP University in the news for months.
