Puntukurnu has huge support from Family Planning Western Australia to assist in the education of safe sexual practises to those in the communities.

School Holiday Diversion Program
Puntukurnu Programs Manager Sue Parker and Health Promotions Officer Sam Alexeff are in the process of trying to conquer the drug and alcohol abuse in Jingalong community. Together they created a program School Holiday Diversion which they are going to run every school holidays. The first of this school holiday fun started over 3 nights in the october school holidays 2010.  They set up activities such as quizzes & challenges with a healthy focus and basketball competitions. They also ran the red cross “Save a Mate” program.  Anyone from the ages of 12yrs-18yrs were allowed to join in and they had about 20 teenagers there each night.
The aim of this program is to not only educate the teens on drug and alcohol abuse in a fun way but also give the teens something fun and exciting to do. That way they are spending their time in a happy and safe environment rather than being at risk of exposure to drugs and alcohol.
Sue and Sam look forward to the next and hope it will be even more successful than the last.
