Spotted on my wander around Hambleden on Saturday. I assume 'Oasis' is a youth service held monthly in Fingest for the whole Hambleden Valley. There was no Oasis service on the 6th October, hence the title!
A new integrated youth-service centre, the Foundry Kelowna, will bring existing services under one roof so families and young people can access a 'one-stop shop' for primary care, mental health and substance use, and social services.

Honda Civic. That's the main City Police Department in the background in a recycled building. It used to be a Super Market.

The Youth Services Department is THE place to be on a snowy day. Most of the walls are glass and the views are beautiful, especially when the snow is falling. By evening, the Village Green is bright with tiny white lights.
Assumptions about Underage Drinking
Assumption: Drinking is a rite of passage; parents can’t do anything to prevent it and have little influence over their teens.
FACT: Many studies including a new study from SAMHSA, show that one in five parents believe that he or she has little say in his/her child’s drug or alcohol use. Yet the study showed that children who believed their parents would disapprove of their behavior were less likely to use drugs or alcohol. Only five percent of kids who believed their parents disapproved of marijuana smoked it anyway, and 80 percent of teens said their parents were the leading influence on whether or not they should drink. Lesson learned: a little disapproval goes a long way.
Assumption: Some adults think that providing alcohol to teens at home decreases the risk for continued drinking as teens get older, and subsequent drinking problems later in life.
‘FACT: The opposite is true - parents, should be aware that supplying alcohol to minors actually increases, rather than decreases the risk for continued drinking in the teenage years and leads to subsequent problem drinking later in life.
Assumption: Europeans let their kids drink at an early age, yet they do not have the alcohol-related problems,we do.
FACT: Actually, in Europe, young people have higher intoxication rates than in the United States, and less than a quarter had lower or equivalent rates to the United States. Also, a greater percentage of young people in a majority of Europe report binge drinking at higher rates then compared to their U.S. counterparts. Most European youth have higher rates of alcohol-related problems because of their heavy drinking.
Assumption: Lowering the drinking age will encourage young people to be responsible consumers rather than drink at uncontrolled, private parties.
FACT: Many youth drink with the goal to get drunk. They are not “wired” in the brain to assess risk and to be responsible when it comes to risky behavior. There is no class or situation-that will prompt a teen to drink responsibly when alcohol flows freely.
Assumption: Some parents believe that being ‘too strict’ about adolescent drinking during high school’ will cause teens to drink more when they first leave the home and do not have as much parental oversight.
FACT: Ongoing and another new study from The Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS) reveals that teens who perceive their parents to be more permissive about alcohol use are MORE likely to abuse alcohol and
to use other drugs.
Assumption: The law only makes youth want to drink because it’s e "forbidden fruit."
FACT: When the “forbidden fruit” is no longer forbidden, youth simply drink more. In states where the drinking age was 18, young people drank more than in states where the minimum drinking age was 21. They continued to drink more as adults in their early 20s.
Alcohol and the Teen Brain
The human brain continues to grow into a person's early 20s. Drinking alcohol during that time can damage short and long-term brain growth and that damage can be permanent. And it's not just heavy drinking that can impact teens -- teens who drink half as much alcohol as adults can still suffer the same negative effects. Teens are more likely to suffer blackouts, memory loss, and alcohol poisoning from drinking, as well as to cause damage to their ability to remember things in the future. All parts of the growing brain are impacted negatively by alcohol, but the memory function is especially hard hit.
